CURSE OF THE DEMON (1957)

As far as villains go, Niall MacGinnis is certainly no clown, although as Doctor Karswell, head of a large Satanist Cult in England, he dresses as one called Dr. Bobo: The Magnificent, performing magic tricks for children while trying to keep Dana Andrews from publishing a disparaging article he was sent from America to write, replacing ingenue Peggy Cummins' uncle, who began the film being lethally plowed-down by the titular CURSE OF THE DEMON.

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.

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.

THE FEARMAKERS (1958)

Another Happy Birthday and Happy New Years both for DANA ANDREWS, born on Jan 1, 1909, a long time ago, but his movies carry on, as his minimalist style of acting seems brand new... here in THE FEARMAKERS (colorized photo) directed by Dana's CURSE OF THE DEMON and CANYON PASSAGE auteur Jacques Tourneur.
