Scarce black fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch pale grey autograph album page, acquired in-person in 1945. In good condition. Clive Brook signs in black grease pencil on the verso. British character actor Naunton Wayne was memorable as cricket-obsessed Caldicott, prattling on about the game alongside Basil Radford as Charters, in The Lady Vanishes (1938). The two would go on to appear as similar characters in a number of other classic films, including Night Train to Munich (1940), Crook's Tour (1941), Millions Like Us (1943), Dead of Night (1945), Quartet (1948), It's Not Cricket (1949), and Passport to Pimlico (1949).
