Consider This

Few would consider that there was facial confusion during the 1960s between Mike Nichols (left), a famous director, producer, actor, and comedian (1931-2014), and the lesser-known William Redfield, an actor in theater, film, radio, and television (1927-1976). The multi-talented actors were from the same era, and both died in NYC. The photo comparison may solve any confusion. 

Likewise, few would compare these two actors, and not brothers. From left to right, introvert Robert Young (1907-98) and extrovert Richard Denning (1914-98). They had a facial resemblance at certain ages; both were 6' tall and died the same year. Denning was in radio, television plus numerous low-budget films. Those of a certain age may remember him as the Governor from his recurring role on the original Hawaii Five-O televison series. Young was an A-list and second banana actor in both high and lower-budget films and had huge success with two successful television series.

Reel Character Series

 

Evelyn Ankers (1918-1985) was a British-American actress who made over fifty films between 1936 and 1950. She often played a cultured young lady in the early American horror films, in particular, The Wolf Man (1941), The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), and The Mad Ghoul (1943). She soon became the "Queen of The Scream." Her B-movie credits continued with forgettable films such as Jungle Woman (1944), the lead role in a murder mystery, The Fatal Witness (1945), a passenger in the crime drama, Flight to Nowhere (1946), and opposite Gerald Mohr in, The Lone Wolf in London (1947). She appeared in the [unintentionally amusing] crime noir, Parole, Inc. in 1948.

Another notable bit of trivia is that Ankers married the respectable B-movie actor, Richard Denning, in 1942. The couple starred together in Black Beauty (1946). Her transition to television in the 1950s offered her a variety of roles, most notably as a guest star on Denning's show, Mr. & Mrs. North (1952), as the feisty Constance Noble. The couple again starred together in the film short, No Greater Love (1960) and it would become her last role. They remained devoted to each other until her death. 

After Hours at the Library

 

This 1942 release, Quiet Please, Murder, is an enjoyable yet routine detective mystery with art forger George Sanders at his condescending best. His partner in crime is Gail Patrick, playing a phony art expert. They tolerate each other only for their monetary rewards. This unknown film was a World War II encourager in defeating the Nazis. Film vacillates between serious and humorous, making it a fast seventy minutes. Richard Denning is a standout with plenty of quips as is Byron Foulger as the nervous head librarian during an air raid. My full assessment at FORGOTTEN CINEMA.
