Kenneth More Facts
He was awarded a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1970 Queen's New Year's Honours List for his services to drama.

For much of his role as Bill Crichton in Paradise Lagoon (1957), he was filmed from the waist up to hide the fact that he was wearing shorts with his dinner-jacket because of the heat during filming. Although universally disliked by the critics this film went on to be the second biggest "grosser" at UK cinemas during 1957.

Wrote a letter of support for Alexander Walker (1930-2003) when he applied for the post of London Evening Standard Film Critic in 1960. More had apparently been delighted by one of Walker's reviews whilst he was on the Birmingham Post. Walker remained with the Standard for the next 43 years and was Critic of the Year in the British Press Awards (1970, 1974 and 1998) as well as writing twenty books on cinema.
