Guess who plays the two interns?


The two guys who come in the ambulance to pick up the body from the hotel are Douglas Kennedy and Robert Ryan. Kennedy is visible in their shots and he does have some lines. Ryan is never visible. What's funny about this is that when I started noticing Kennedy in old movies on TV, it struck me that he looked and sounded like Ryan. Ryan, of course, had a stellar career in film from the late '40s on, while Kennedy went more into B-movies and TV series. Interestingly, Ryan and another actor from this movie, Anthony Quinn (the body in said scene), later co-starred in Budd Boetticher's CITY BENEATH THE SEA (1953).
