His best known movie roles were in "Trent's Last Case," "The Shanghai Express," "Sherlock Holmes," "Cavalcade" and "Convoy." His last last film role was in 1962 with American actor George C. Scott in "'The List of Adrian Messenger." Brook and his wife, Milly, had two children who also achieved theatrical distinction. His daughter, Faith, is an actress and his son, Clive Lyndon, a playwright and actor. CLIVE BROOK
