Biography

Au cinéma, Patric Knowles débute dans son pays natal en 1932, puis commence sa carrière aux États-Unis en 1936, alors qu'il est sous contrat à la Warner Bros. Il tourne ainsi aux côtés d'Errol Flynn (notamment dans Les Aventures de Robin des Bois — 1938 —, un de ses films les plus connus) et se lie avec lui d'une grande amitié. Acteur indépendant à partir de 1939 — et jusqu'à son dernier film en 1973 —, il figure dans des productions de genre très diversifié (westerns, films comiques, d'horreur, fantastiques...). En outre, il apparaît fréquemment à la télévision (feuilletons, téléfilms, shows).

Pour sa contribution à la télévision, une étoile lui est dédiée sur le Walk of Fame d'Hollywood Boulevard.

American Lieutenant Colonel Robert T. Frederick is summoned to Britain where he is authorized by Admiral Louis Mountbatten to raise a commando force comprising both American and Canadian personnel for operations in Norway. Back in the U.S. Frederick receives his American troops — all are Army convicts. When the Canadian contingent arrives they immediately cause friction with the Americans and chaos ensues. By the time Frederick manages to overcome the national differences and to mould the 1st Special Service Force into a highly trained commando force, the Allied High Command have had a change of heart and offered the Norway missions to British troops. Left without a role, Frederick manages to persuade General Mark Clark in Italy to give his men a chance to prove themselves. Clark asks Frederick for the 1st Special Service Force to reconnoitre a German garrison in an Italian town, but Frederick decides to go one better and capture the entire town. Convinced now of the ability of Frederick's men, Clark gives them the task no other Allied troops have managed to achieve — to capture Monte la Difensa. Facing severe obstacles, they drive the Germans off the stronghold, allowing the allies to continue their advance into Italy.
