CANYON PASSAGE (1946)

Not long after the double-birthdays of LAURA actors Gene Tierney and Clifton Webb is musician and actor Hoagy Carmichael, who appeared in three films with Dana Andrews, including Jacques Tourneur's character-driven western CANYON PASSAGE (pictured with Lloyd Bridges and Andy Devine), the post-war classic THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES and their true collaborating combination as fellow musicians in the melodrama NIGHT SONG.

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.

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.
