Farewell John Hinde
I read on Wikipedia the passing of 92yr old movie critic John Hinde.
For those old enough to remember him, I have fond memories of Hinde on the ABC, previewing old scratchy black and white British films in the late evening.
Infact, his voice was so unique, this whiny scratchy sound, that it was one of televisions most recognisable. So much so, that I used to, and still do , to this day, impersonate him.
I have vivid memories of being introduced to the 1939 version of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' on ABC by the inimitable tones of John Hinde.
Sadly Missed.

Thoroughly endorse yr comments re JH.
A contribution to film buffs that was a little more soulful than picky diatribe that some deliver to us.
