In watching a good 1960 movie, “Midnight Lace,” on TCM, I noticed the fabulous John Williams, again playing a Scotland Yard inspector.

Mr. Williams had done so in fabulous fashion in the great Alfred Hitchcock directed, “Dial M For Murder,” six years earlier in 1954.

John Williams played “Niles French,” the brother of Sebastian Cabot’s Mr. French (Giles), on the television show, “Family Affair.”

He also was the “host” on the longest running national television commercial in history, offering musical masterpieces.
