THE FEARMAKERS (1958)

There's a bookend of beating in Jacques Tourneur's desk-set Film Noir THE FEARMAKERS as Dana Andrews begins as a prisoner-of-war from Korea, and then back in Washington D.C. where he owned a business dealing with public-relations opinion-research, now headed crookedly by villain Dick Foran and his huge henchman, Kelly Thordsen, who beat Dana's Alan Eaton some more. But he doesn't lose; not ultimately. Full review at Cult Film Freak.

SEALED CARGO (1951)

Dana Andrews' uncredited brother Steve Forrest plays a Nazi soldier, without lines, about to get a knife in SEALED CARGO... so the brothers never actually share screen-time, but it's the first and only time they're in the same movie.

FALLEN ANGEL (1945)

Birthday of Golden Age singer and actress ALICE FAYE, the good girl in Otto Preminger's underrated film noir FALLEN ANGEL with Dana Andrews... and since Linda Darnell's femme fatale character got so much attention while some of Alice's scenes were cut... in Hollywood, Alice didn't live there anymore... until a 1960's TV-version of STATE FAIR, which Dana starred in the best known theatrical released the same year as this movie, 1945.

WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS (1950)

Dana Andrews in WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, after killing future PETER GUNN Craig Stevens, standing in front of an awesome dog... or rather, dogs... picture... that in a nicer hotel they'd be jumping over something, or something.
