If you're a Dana Andrews fan, my colleague Carl Rollyson has written a very serious and thorough biography, with lots of input from Andrews family members.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-4182099663841265242020-04-06T10:21:29.776-07:002020-04-06T10:21:29.776-07:00I was about 15 years old when I saw the film Laura...I was about 15 years old when I saw the film Laura.It has always been one of my favourite films and Dana Andrews an actor whom I have greatly admired. In his best films he gave real and genuine, rather than, star performances. I am now 91 and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing The Best Years of Our Lives a few days ago on Sony Movies channel.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526124855957819732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-55672974185464794912018-06-02T23:36:57.882-07:002018-06-02T23:36:57.882-07:00I agree.

(Very timely in some ways, except for the sentimental ending.)

It probably won't surprise you that my favorite is Curse of the Demon/Night of the Demon depending on whether you're watching the American version or the original British cut. This performance also gained Dana Andrews some Midnight Movie immortality - as he is name checked in the song "Science Fiction Double Feature" which opens The Rocky Horror Picture Show: "Dana Andrews said prunes/gave him the runes/and passing them used lots of skills."<br /><br />And congratulations on your rave in that review - your book is indeed a marvel!
