A super black and white real photograph postcard of Clive Brook, British film star. The card was published in Great Britain in the Picturegoer series No 63a  in the 1940s. This card is postally unused and in good condition.

Clive Brook (1887-1974) was born in London, the son of an opera singer and a violinist. He distinguished himself in the First World War. He first appeared on stage in 1918 and also in films from 1919. He worked first in British films then moved to America in 1924.

One of his best remembered appearances was playing opposite Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Express (1932).  In 1943, he adapted the comedy On Approval by Frederick Lonsdale and wrote, produced, directed and starred in the film with  Beatrice Lillie, Googie Withers and Roland Culver. It is seen by many as Brooks' crowning achievement. In 1949 he presented the radio series The Secrets of Scotland Yard.
