Sometimes, even the best actors can be in the right place at the wrong time.. Andrews, luckily enough, got into films, just at the start of WWII; and, with a good number of leading men in uniform, that was his big opportunity.. Ox-Bow Incident; Laura; A walk In The Sun; The Best Years Of Our Lives; all were great performances.. He never got in the way of the story.. But, Hollywood being Hollwood, there was no such thing as a Dana Andrews picture. After the 40's, he'd peaked out..
thank you so much for this Baz!! very few tributes to this much underrated, but fantastic actor!! One of the best from that period, he was sensational. Just like this video!
You are 110% correct niceguy...Starred in, what I consider, the best WWII movie, "The Purple Heart." Rarely shown as is The Ox-Bow Incident. Why wasn't he nominated for "The Best Years of Our Lives?" He successfully battled alcoholism. Died from effec ts of Alzheimer's.
I like this compilation very much, well done.

Thanks for this. He was certainly one of the more under-rated actors of his period.
What is the background music?

Andrews was one of the great noir stars. Laura and Where the Sidewalk Ends are only two of my favorite Andrews films. He never disappoints.
