Biography
Jack Davies learned the rudiments of British screen comedy as a staff writer on the
Will Hay
films of the 1930s. Not confined to any one comic style, Davies was as well suited to the whimsy of
Laughter in Paradise
(1951) as he was to the semi-satirical silliness of the
Doctor in the House
series and the gut-level slapstick of
Norman Wisdom

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines
. Jack Davies was the father of child star (and later BBC TV director)
John Howard Davies
