William Whitney Talman, Jr. (February 4, 1915 - August 30, 1968) was Los Angeles District Attorney Hamilton Burger in television series Perry Mason.

[@None-zc5vg]

Talman smoked himself to a early death: see his anti-smoking "commercial" ( "don't be a loser").

[@brigittepurnell9904]

He always played a bad guy, except for perry mason

[@warrenwilson4818]

Dane Clark fantastic as a bad guy. Never heard of this movie before. Thanks, KZbin., 2-11-2020.

[@b1i2l336]

Over the top, even operatic at the conclusion. Gritty, tough. Dane Clark is always worth watching, and Talman is terrific too!

@@None-zc5vg Indeed ! I think I read that too years ago: a critic referring to Dane Clark as "the poor man's John Garfield" ! THANKS for your follow up comment. I never did care for Dane Clark. Though he was talented enough to get himself a multi year contract with Warner Bros and he got the chance to work alongside some of their biggest stars ! :-)

[@stuart8663]

The piano music woven through it was integral to the story. A really good story and great location shots.

[@cgpyper7536]

Dane Clark was just the man for this flick; stunts included. In real life he had been quite the two-fisted tough guy as a younger man but smart and successful in aspects professional and matrimonial. Thanks for your good example D.C. This flick is a precursor the James Bond Fords promos. Nice looking Customline followed by several police cars, then the '56 Fairlane, plus a good looking '56 (?) Lincoln ... in addition to a pickup and bob-tailed truck. Also got nice profile and famous engine music of the iconic Harley Davidson police motorcycle. Thanks R.R.

Robert Horton, pre-Wagon Train, at 7.30+ Barton MacLane at 12.45 in a non-Western role

[@jmccracken1963]

Also Robert Horton, post-"Pony Soldier" and post-"Bright Road." After "Wagon Train," Robert Horton played the title role in the one-season-wonder Western series "A Man Called Shenandoah," which ran on ABC (34 episodes) in 1965-66 - in black and white. (ABC went all-color the following season.)

If they would drop the Wagnerian Tristan & Isolde music theme and replace the wooden platitudinous doctor, this would be what I had expected! Entertaining though. Dane is a commanding presence anywhere, and the leading lady is very beautiful. Thanks for posting.

Talman again with the armored car heist. Just like armored car robbery pic. To make sure it goes off he should ask Bobby Jordan about routine 9

[@jmccracken1963]

William Talman did quite a few interesting movie roles in the 8 years between his film debut (1949) and "Perry Mason" (1957), including the following movies (in addition to "The Man Is Armed"): "Red, Hot, and Blue" (his film debut) "The Woman on Pier 13" "The Kid from Texas" (an early Audie Murphy film) "Armored Car Robbery" "The Racket" (as an honest policeman) "One Minute To Zero" "The Hitch-Hiker" "City That Never Sleeps" "Crashout" "Big House, U.S.A." "Smoke Signal" "Two-Gun Lady" "The Persuader" Ironically, his last screen appearance was also in a movie: as District Attorney Charlie Lord in the 1967 film "The Ballad of Josie" (a Western comedy starring Doris Day).

The decline of B movies in the fifties. I got tired of the bad playing acting of Clark playing that same tiring theme and hit the back button at 37 minutes. He was always such a cheap thug looking actor. He and Richard Conte, a much better actor always had cheap hood looks and played the parts of being them.
