Australian-born film critic well-known in the UK for his many radio programs about the cinema (e.g., "Movie-Go-Round") and for his contributions to newspapers and film magazines. He was a notable and prolific writer for "Films And Filming" magazine for more than 25 years and also wrote several books on the cinema. He died in 2000 at the age of 81.

[reviewing "Station Six - Sahara", 1963]: Quite a number of talented people have been engaged on this assignment and they are to be complimented on the monumental self-discipline that prevents them from playing the entire thing for laughs. Seth Holt, who is a most capable director, gives a fine impression of a man struggling doggedly against the tide.
