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.

Comments

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.

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.
