Calthrop was most often seen as a villain, usually the type who relishes telling the hero how and why he "did it." A favorite of Alfred Hitchcock, Calthrop skulked his way through the Master's "Blackmail" (1929), "Juno and the Paycock" (1930) "Murder" (1930) and "Number Seventeen" (1932). He also cast a sinister shadow over two important railroad-related melodramas of the early talkie era, "The Ghost Train" (1931) and "Rome Express" (1932). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
