The Frightened Witness (TV-1957) DAN DURYEA

[@sjr7822]

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.

[@Dobie_Gillis]

From what I gathered from other movie channels he was a regular church goer in the San Fernando Valley.

[@anthonyhairston4050]

you know he went to jail for murder

[@raylenenielsen5943]

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.

More Duryea films please.

Loved Dan Duryea. Great actor

[@TheMocao]

Me too. He was “the heel with sex appeal” according to the LA Times obituary .

[@larkatmic]

@@TheMocao Ain’t that the truth!

[@jayhershey7525]

It was DAN. Dan Duryea.

[@larkatmic]

@@jayhershey7525 Of course. Thank you 🙏

[@TheMocao]

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.” 😂

[@catdog2706]

Absolutely love Dan duraya

[@chesterproudfoot9864]

Duryea was such a good actor. He could be the nastiest of the nasty, or really funny.

[@cherylvirden3073]

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.

[@soninoscardelletti2844]

Gotta like Dan D. God Bless

[@Baskerville22]

A Dan Duryea film or TV appearance is always interesting.

[@jamesnorton8316]

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.

[@nedludd7622]

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.

[@shellyhane7428]

He's great as a good guy but better as a bad guy. Ya just gotta love this actor. The best of his time.

[@Mangos68]

Love danny durea

[@castaway2680]

Ditto!

[@RetiredSchoolCook]

🍕🍕🍕 Thank you 🍕🍕🍕 Good story ❤👍

[@carolinereynolds378]

Not only Beaver's mom, but also Beaver's school principal.

[@f.w.2054]

Harold J. Stone, another excellent character actor!

[@deloreslandeis1008]

I have not seen in quite awhile. Thank you for this "gift" 😊😊

[@georgeszilva1223]

Wow.. Barbara Billingsley!!.... where's the beav ??

[@pyralux01]

More !.....More!!!!!!

[@brocktoon8]

Dan Duryea, yeah! The mobsters were good too!

[@mrdemocracy7106]

Dan Duryea was a great actor in my opinion.

[@simontaylor2319]

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

[@Kewrock]

Dan Duryea, the Gene Hackman of his time. Could play a vicious murderer one movie and a mild family man the next.

[@kalexander5757]

Good comparison. Love them both. Never a bad performance from either. 🎞️

[@acastrohowell]

Loved him great actor ❤

[@2KJustice]

God Bless all. God Bless Snow. Wow Mr. Pee!!!!! Beautiful!

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on "DuPONT THEATER" (they eliminated the "CAVALCADE OF AMERICA" title after the 1954-'55 season) on February 19, 1957.

[@remmymafia3889]

Beaver's mom.

[@mariogirard1221]

short but sweet🤩

[@carycoller3140]

They pushed him too hard.

[@jett8193]

Is this June Cleaver's secret family? Thx PF🍕🎥

[@jimcrawford3185]

"The heel with sex appeal"

[@aquiestaelaguilanegrapaloq8984]

What naivety 😊

[@lionelcomise5058]

The frightened witness

[@Fair-to-Middling]

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!)

[@7colliemac]

This would have made a great movie.. only Dan was miscast as the good guy..

[@peaceful3250]

If you want to see him in another good guy role try to see a movie called Chicago Calling.

[@altilley2694]

😮😅😊
