Hugh Burden on AllMovie

Hugh Burden was a British playwright and actor, most prolific in the latter category in movie character parts. Born in Ceylon and educated in England, Burden made his stage debut in 1933. Nine years later he appeared in his first film, One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1941), perhaps the best showcase up to its time for male British talent. The quality of Hugh Burden's films ranged from the heights of No Love for Johnnie (1961) and Funeral in Berlin (1966) to the depths of The House in Nightmare Park (1973), but the actor never stinted in giving every role his best shot.
