Kenneth More Kenneth More Kenneth Gilbert More, CBE (20 September 1914 – 12 July 1982) was an English film and stage actor. Raised to stardom by the veteran car based film-comedy "Genevieve" (1953), he appeared in many roles as a carefree, happy-go-lucky gent. His biggest hits from this period include "Raising a Riot" (1955), "Reach for the Sky" (1956), and "The Admirable Crichton" (1957). He starred in "Doctor in the House" (1954), the first of the popular "Doctor" film series. Although his career declined in the early 1960s, two of his own favourite films date from this time – "The Comedy Man"
Love in the Afternoon (1957 film) agent Paul Kohner suggested Maurice Chevalier for the role of Claude Chavasse, and when asked if he was interested, the actor replied, "I would give the secret recipe for my grandmother's bouillabaisse to be in a Billy Wilder picture." Filming locations included the Château of Vitry in the Yvelines, the Palais Garnier, home of the Paris Opera, and the Hôtel Ritz Paris. It was Wilder's insistence to shoot the film on location in Paris. Music plays an important role in the film. Much of the prelude to the Richard Wagner opera "Tristan und Isolde" is heard during a lengthy sequence
