In 1958, the same year as THE FEARMAKERS was another Cold War Thriller, albeit of the Disaster kind, and both featured the beautiful Marilee Earle: The first she's the leading lady opposite Dana Andrews, and in THE LOST MISSILE she's the pregnant wife of a secondary lead, extremely underused but still looking fantastic.

Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney finished a five film team-up with Otto Preminger's WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS, which might seem similar to LAURA, where a tough cop and a beautiful women are entangled in a murder, but couldn't be more different: she's protecting him this time, and yet, she doesn't even know it.
