===Film=== Revill's red hair and distinctive [[Punch and Judy|Mr. Punch]]-like features often saw him cast as comic eccentrics in a number of British films of the 1960s and 1970s such as ''[[Kaleidoscope (1966 film)|Kaleidoscope]]'' (1966), ''[[Modesty Blaise (1966 film)|Modesty Blaise]]'' (1966), ''[[The Double Man (1967 film)|The Double Man]]'' (1967), ''[[Fathom (1967 film)|Fathom]]'' (1967), ''[[The Assassination Bureau]]'' (1969), ''[[A Severed Head (film)|A Severed Head]]'' (1970), ''[[The Black Windmill]]'' (1974) and ''[[One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing]]'' (1975). He also had notable supporting turns in [[Otto Preminger]]'s ''[[Bunny Lake Is Missing]]'' (1965) opposite [[Laurence Olivier]], and his American film debut ''[[A Fine Madness]]'' (1966), as well as a rare leading role in the horror film ''[[The Legend of Hell House]]'' (1973).<ref>{{cite web| url= https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070294/| title= The Legend of Hell House (1973)| date= 15 June 1973| publisher= IMDb| access-date= 28 June 2018}}</ref> He was often cast as humorous foreign characters (he has played everything from Chinese to Russian). Two of his highest profile roles of this kind were in two films for [[Billy Wilder]]: ''[[The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes]]'' (1970) and ''[[Avanti!]]'' (1972), for which he was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Award]] for his part as put-upon hotel manager Carlo Carlucci.<ref name= MB>{{cite web|url=http://www.masterworksbroadway.com/artist/clive-revill/ |title=Clive Revill | work= MasterworksBroadway.com |access-date=21 December 2016}}</ref>
