LAURA (1944)

Dana Andrews in Otto Preminger's LAURA, with a glib, sly grin after looking at the pretentious tribal masks owned by his first suspect, Waldo Lydecker played by Clifton Webb. Ironic that Webb resembles Robert Keith from The Masks TWILIGHT ZONE episode (two decades later). Dana's strong, silent Mike McPherson knew to stay clear, anyway, before strolling to Waldo's bathtub. Thankless job, that.

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.

MADISON AVENUE (1961)

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.

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.
