Critic Bosley Crowther, reviewing 'The Little Foxes' in New York Times of August 22 1941, commented on his performance "Charles Dingle as brother Ben Hubbard, the oldest and sharpest of the rattlesnake clan, is the perfect villain in respectable garb". Dingle was also good value as factory owner Andrew Holmes in 'The Talk of the Town' (1942).
