Dan Duryea


In the barroom scene where they're celebrating Rod Cameron's impending wedding to Yvonne De Carlo, as the camera pans the men at the bar raising their drinks, I could swear one of them is Dan Duryea. Which is odd, since he was already a major supporting player. However, he may already have been signed to a Universal contract, having already made one film for the studio (LADY ON A TRAIN), so he may have appeared in the scene as a favor to somebody, although I can't figure out who. He hadn't yet worked with any of the principals behind the camera yet, nor any of the principals on camera. Very odd.
