Acting career
Since joining the Players' Theatre in London, justice was pursued. The club will stage Victorian music hall nights under the chairmanship of Leonard Sachs, who was former chairman of BBC television's The Good Old Days. Justice was recommended for the film For Those in Peril (1944), but Sachs was denied entry for one night.
Justice soon established himself as a leading actor in British comedy films thanks to his domineering personality, bulky physique (he appeared rugby for Beckenham RFC First XV with Johnnie Cradock, who would become the partner of 1950s TV chef Fanny), and a vivacious voice. In the film Vice Versa (1948), written and directed by Peter Ustinov, he played Justice partly because he was "a collaborator of my father's work at Reuters." In a film version of Robin Hood called The Story of Robin Hood (1952), where he played Little John, justice made it to Walt Disney." Justice was also involved in the "Doctor" film series of 1950s and 1960s films, beginning with Doctor in the House (1954), in which he is perhaps best remembered. Seumas Mrna Feusag (Scottish Gaelic, translation: Big James with the Bears) was sometimes credited in his films, James Robertson, James Robertson, or James Robertson-Justice.
He helped launch Scottish Television (STV), the channel's first show, This Is Scotland, on August 31, 1957. He served as Rector of Edinburgh University from 1957 to 1966, and then again from 1963 to 1966. Robertson Justice appeared in the war film The Guns of Navarone (1961), as well as narrating the tale.
He appeared in four films with Navarone co-star Gregory Peck, including Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951) and Moby Dick (1956), in which Robertson Justice played the one-armed sea captain who was also struck by the white whale. Robertson Justice's character in the film tries to befriend Captain Ahab (played by Peck), but is surprised and disgusted by Ahab's obsessive pursuit of Moby Dick.
Justice separated from his wife in 1968 after a string of events and accidental drowning of his four-year-old son in 1949 near his watermill home in Whitchurch, Hampshire. On the set of The Ambassador in 1960, he met actress Irene von Meyendorff, and the two became a team together, eventually marrying in 1975, just days before he died.
Justice suffered a serious stroke not long after beginning his Chitty Bang Bang Bang in 1968, marking the start of his career. Afterward, he appeared in a number of films, but in less prominent roles (i.e.). Sir Lancelot Spratt played his best known character in Doctor in Trouble (1970), but it was only in a few scenes). He had a second stroke, leaving him unable to function. In 1970, he was declared bankrupt, but he died penniless in 1975. His remains were buried on a north Scotland moor near his former residence in Spinningdale, north of Scotland.
What is The Bleeding Time? A biography by James Robertson Justice — What Is The Bleeding Time? (referring to a joke in the first Doctor film) was published by Tomahawk Press on March 3, 2008. It was written by James Hogg, Robert Sellers, and Howard Watson.
