René Cutforth (6 February 1909 - 1 April 1984) was a British journalist, television and radio broadcaster and writer. He joined the British Broadcasting Corporation on return to England in 1946, and became a well known broadcaster and travelled the world as a BBC correspondent. He reported on the Korean War. Reviewing one of Cutforth's television programmes, the critic Clive James wrote in The Observer: "Cutforth is that rare thing, a front man with background. Fitzrovia and Soho weigh heavily on his eyelids. His voice sounds like tea-chests full of books being shifted about." RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
