The son of silent film star Roy Redgrave, and a Cambridge man who briefly taught school before going into acting, he made his stage debut in 1934 and first delighted moviegoers as the amiably eccentric musician/hero in Alfred Hitchcock's stylish comedy-thriller The Lady Vanishes (1938).
Redgrave came to America in 1947, costarring with Rosalind Russell in the heavy, mind-numbing, Dudley Nichols-directed screen adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra.
Redgrave, knighted in 1959, also produced and directed numerous plays, wrote three books-"The Actor's Ways and Means" (1955), "Mask or Face" (1958), and "The Mountebank Tale" (1959)-and sired actresses Lynn and Vanessa, and actor Corin.

 Britmovie - Michael Redgrave Biography
Never an aggressively romantic hero, nor quite one of the league of post-war chaps, the character which Redgrave projected simply seemed unsure of himself and looking for something else - either out of idealism or discomfort.
This might express itself through a frustrated passion, as in the socially idealistic but domestically inept mine-worker's son of The Stars Look Down (1939), the excruciating distraction of Barnes Wallis in The Dam Busters (1955), or the eccentric dithering of his lighter roles, The Lady Vanishes for example.
Though he may have been doubtful about cinema, apparently finding it suspiciously easy, Redgrave's later filmography does not reveal quite so many embarrassments as those of some of the other theatrical knights.
