Patrick Joseph Noel Purcell (23 December 1900 – 3 March 1985) was a distinguished Irish actor of stage, screen and television. He was part of the movie called 'Moby Dick'.
Au cinéma, il apparaît d'abord dans un film muet irlandais en 1926, puis dans trois premiers films parlants au cours des années 1930, avant de tourner régulièrement entre 1947 et 1973. Au total, il contribue à cinquante-huit films, britanniques surtout, mais aussi américains et irlandais — ou co-productions —, dont plusieurs bien connus (voir sa filmographie sélective ci-après). Mentionnons-en quatre : le film britannique Le Lagon bleu (1949) de Frank Launder ; le film américano-britannique Moby Dick (1956) de John Huston, où il interprète le charpentier — métier qu'il a exercé — (notons qu'ultérieurement, il retrouvera trois fois Huston, notamment pour son dernier film en 1973, Le Piège) ; le film irlandais Quand se lève la lune (1957) de John Ford ; et le film américano-britannique Lord Jim (1965) de Richard Brooks.
À la télévision, Noel Purcell collabore à quinze séries, entre 1955 et 1972, avant une ultime prestation en 1984. Citons Dans sept jours, le déluge, neuvième épisode de la Saison 4 de Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir (première série), diffusé en 1965, où il tient le rôle d'un charpentier excentrique, construisant une nouvelle 'Arche de Noé'.

MacKintosh and his deputy, Mrs Smith, inform him of a simple way to steal diamonds which are transported via the post service to avoid attention. This he does, apparently getting successfully away after punching a postman, and making off with the diamond-filled parcel. However, that evening, in his hotel room he is paid a visit by two Metropolitan Police detectives who have received an anonymous phone call advising them about the robbery. They are unconvinced by Rearden's pretence to be an innocent Australian who had recently arrived in London.

In Croydon, England, seemingly grieving Stella Black (Lee Remick) has just returned home from her husband's funeral. Apparently, he died in a gliding accident when the glider he had rented crashed into the sea, and his body was never recovered. In reality, she knows her husband Rex Black (Laurence Harvey) is still alive and has been in hiding at a seaside boarding house for three months under the assumed name of Erskine, a shoe salesman on vacation, between the time of his "death" and the funeral. He has just clandestinely returned home following the funeral. They are perpetrating this ruse to collect on the £50,000 life insurance money from the Excelsior Insurance Company. They feel Excelsior owes them this money as, in the previous year, Excelsior did not pay out a £20,000 business insurance claim when his airplane, which he used to operate his own transport company, went down in bad weather on a flight to Hamburg, West Germany, and was destroyed. His insurance had lapsed by two days due to someone's error in not paying the latest premium – Rex admitting that it may have been his error - which in turn ruined his business.
