Seeing Dana Andrews
in a cameo in Otto Preminger's John Wayne WWII Pearl Harbor melodrama IN HARM'S WAY would be like a James Stewart walk-on in Alfred Hitchcock's TOPAZ. Dana
Plays a maligned admiral under infamous command of General
Short (Francone Tone).
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.
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.
The third of four movies starring Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain is the only where Crain plays the sort of "other woman" on the sidelines wherein Dana's MADISON AVENUE mover/shaker is building-up the career of Eleanor Parker. The scenes between Andrews and Crain, though, are the longest and last throughout the entire story.
