He really made Plague of Zombies for me (Although John Carson nearly stole the show!) and is excellent as Dr. Watson in Hound of the Baskervilles. He was also ace in the TV version of Quatermass and the Pit (broadcast 1958-1959). A real old skool actor that brought gravitas to every role
You can say that again! Morell is really a face to remember, and a very fine actor indeed. Another movie, nearly solely pillared by his great appearance, is The Mummy's Shroud. I actually intend to watch The Plague of the Zombies this evening - this is a great Hammer, too. I like it a lot, as it is very moody and spooky. I cannot tell how often I've already seen it.

I've a small poster of this artwork on the wall:


Greetings!
