This film is slightly clichéd but is worth seeing in its own right. In Cover Girl Killer he is almost unrecognisable and his (believable) character could not be much further from his later typecasting. Sadly, after 12 years as Harold Steptoe, Harry H Corbett was irredeemably typecast and found little serious dramatic work before his untimely death from a heart attack in 1982. The quality of these performances, especially the little monologues and character sketches that were often included in the beginning of some of the later episodes, give an insight into the potential he had which was never realised. Most people will only know Harry H Corbett for his portrayal of Harold Steptoe in Steptoe and Son. This was so popular that it ran for eight series ending in 1974. This was successful enough for Galton and Simpson to be asked to turn it into a series which they called Steptoe and Son. Harry H Corbett won acclaim as a stage actor early in his career but in 1962 he appeared on television for a 'one-off' Galton and Simpson Playhouse called 'The offer'.
