Dan Duryea always appealed to me, had to do a search and was surprised to learn he is a man of a mild character, seemed to be a pillar of his community and married to the same woman for 35 years, raised two sons, and died too early, age 61, from cancer. His wife died a few years earlier.
From what I gathered from other movie channels he was a regular church goer in the San Fernando Valley.
you know he went to jail for murder
His real life character shines through/carries over to the screen and can be felt by the viewer. It is the same with some others like Charlton Heston, Ben Johnson, James Cagney, James Garner, Perry Como, Pat Boone.
I love Dan Duryea in everything I’ve seen him in. Although my absolute favorite role was his guest appearance on Jack Benny. The skit was called “The Lunch counter murders - or, They Died Sunnyside Up.” 😂
More Duryea films please.
Duryea was such a good actor. He could be the nastiest of the nasty, or really funny.
Loved Dan Duryea. Great actor
Me too. He was “the heel with sex appeal” according to the LA Times obituary .
@@TheMocao Ain’t that the truth!
It was DAN. Dan Duryea.
@@jayhershey7525 Of course. Thank you 🙏
The moral of the story,.... All it takes for Evil to succeed, is for good men to do nothing. Not sure of the actual quote. I liked Dan and Barbara too.
1957 and a couple was still sleeping in separate beds. Then telling a jr highschool kid to go to bed. The most surprising thing is to see Duryea as the good guy.
He's great as a good guy but better as a bad guy. Ya just gotta love this actor. The best of his time.
Gotta like Dan D. God Bless
The ti.e is 5:30 pm. 5/9/23. Mr Duyea is the Best of the Best. Whether it be Dramatic roles or Westerns. He definitely makes my Day. I miss Mr. Duyea.
Not only Beaver's mom, but also Beaver's school principal.
Love danny durea
Ditto!
🍕🍕🍕 Thank you 🍕🍕🍕 Good story ❤👍
A Dan Duryea film or TV appearance is always interesting.
I have not seen in quite awhile. Thank you for this "gift" 😊😊
More !.....More!!!!!!
Dan Duryea, yeah! The mobsters were good too!
Dan Duryea, the Gene Hackman of his time. Could play a vicious murderer one movie and a mild family man the next.
Good comparison. Love them both. Never a bad performance from either. 🎞️
Harold J. Stone, another excellent character actor!
Absolutely love Dan duraya
Dan is the man, he’d push his mother down the stairs in a wheelchair in a heartbeat, I mean in the movie.
Hi John -- Dan usually plays rough characters but regarding the "wheelchair, that unforgetable scene belongs to Tommy Udo as played by Richard Widmark in the "The Kiss of Death."
Wow.. Barbara Billingsley!!.... where's the beav ??
Originally telecast on "DuPONT THEATER" (they eliminated the "CAVALCADE OF AMERICA" title after the 1954-'55 season) on February 19, 1957.
God Bless all. God Bless Snow. Wow Mr. Pee!!!!! Beautiful!
I didn't know Dan Duryea was a keen gardener (quite rare amongst male Hollwppd actors methinks). Usually he plays the criminal, not this time
Beaver's mom.
short but sweet🤩
"The heel with sex appeal"
They pushed him too hard.
The frightened witness
Is this June Cleaver's secret family? Thx PF🍕🎥
What naivety 😊
So, the little girl goes in the kitchen at the end...and gets abducted (or worse) by the bad guys (well, that's what would have happened in shows these days!)
This would have made a great movie.. only Dan was miscast as the good guy..
If you want to see him in another good guy role try to see a movie called Chicago Calling.
😮😅😊
U is. AW
