SWORD IN THE DESERT (1949)

Interestingly, Dana Andrews's bitter and reluctant, pay-for-hire sea captain character brings up the ship Exodus, which would be a novel... adapted to a movie by his multi-director Otto Preminger a decade after George Sherman's SWORD IN THE DESERT with Jeff Chandler, Stephen McNally, and the lovely Marta Toren, who would later play Dana's love interest in ASSIGNMENT: PARIS.

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.
