Terry-Thomas was an English actor known for his roles in numerous films during the 1950s and 1960s. He often played upper-class twits with a snobbish and condescending personality, delivering his lines with his signature gap-toothed grin and refined accent.
Some of his most popular movies include "School for Scoundrels" (1960), "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" (1963), "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" (1965), and "How to Murder Your Wife" (1965). In "School for Scoundrels", Terry-Thomas played a character named Raymond Delauney who was a charismatic but deceitful villain, who ran a school for spoilt rich men and taught them devious ways of getting what they want.
In "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", he played a smaller but memorable role as Sir Algernon Hawthorne, an Englishman stranded in the California desert who is eventually rescued by a group of bumbling travelers.
"Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines" saw Terry-Thomas playing another upper-class Englishman, Sir Percy Ware-Armitage, participating in a trans-continental air race. He was one of the few cast members who spoke with an English accent, adding to his character's comical effect.
Overall, Terry-Thomas movies were known for their witty dialogue, high energy, and memorable performances from a talented actor who left his mark on British and Hollywood cinema history.
