Mr. Mason had an extraordinary voice, it seemed to me, and he could play a deceitful bad guy like nobody's business, such as in "North by Northwest".
He also played Dr. Watson to Christopher Plummer's Sherlock Holmes in "Murder By Decree".
Of course, his career was long and varied, and that he was a Cat Man makes him all the more attractive!
