Claude Rains is one of the finest actors to ever step in front of the camera. He is more than just a character actor or supporting player. He has charm, sophistication, real substance. With that lovely, distinctive voice and those expressive eyes (and eyebrows) Rains is a pleasure to listen to and watch. He is a scene stealer--and that is meant as a compliment. Very few actors could steal the spotlight from such stars as James Stewart, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant; but Rains did and with great ease and class.
