- In 1987 (after his career had nosedived), his son Andrew boarded a Jersey ferry bound for the mainland in London. When the ferry docked, he was not on board. He is presumed to have either drowned accidentally or to have committed suicide.
- Father of Andrew Knox, born on Nov. 5, 1947.
- Ex-father-in-law of Imogen Hassall.
- After his return to Britain, he was, for many years, a very active member of the Labour Party.
- A Canadian of Scots parentage (his father was a clergyman), he began his film career in Britain, but went to America at the end of the 1930s and made American films and had star roles on Broadway until the start of the 1950s. His identification with a number of liberal and left-wing causes made him unpopular with the House Un-American Activities Committee and he deemed it prudent to return to Britain, where he had a busy and long-lasting career.
- [on Joseph Losey] Joe could have been one of the very great directors... he was carrying around too much negative psychological baggage from the early days, and from the blacklist, and from having to adapt to the "old school tie" style of movie-making in England, and in the society as well. He could have been a Billy Wilder, a Visconti or whatever. But something held him back. He was always on the brink of commercial success, pulling back at the last minute.
