Was surprisingly debonair and suave and reminded me a lot of Cary Grant here. See I had never seen a young Ray Millan until this film. My only real memory is of Dial M for Murder and he was a lot older. He was as leading man suavish as any actor in the golden age here in my opinion
shareI'm glad that you've discovered him. I think you will be, too.
In his youth, before he became an actor Ray Milland a member of the Household Cavalry. You may have seen them in many news films without knowing who they are. They are the tall, ramrod straight soldiers in the gold helmets who ride out in front of the Queen's carriage on state occasions in England. Until relatively recently the Household Cavalry served without pay and had to pay the cost for their uniforms and horses. Young Ray's stepfather cut off his allowance, so he had to resign and find a paying job. Soon enough he found his way to the screen and then to Hollywood. He was well trained in marksmanship, fencing, horsemanship, and suaviosity (I know, it's not a real word, but it seems to fit).
The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank.
Yes. This is actually one of the only films of his I have seen but I'm looking to change that. He was so charming in this one.
