Mr. Raft always had the walk of proud and dignified with purpose! And who could forget that wonderful voice! One of the truly great actors! I love British movies This movie had great suspense carried off by all! Thank you for sharing this movie with us all!

[@dougcase7545]

Yes. I've seen a few of Mr. Raft's gangster films before this. I looked him up on IMDB, and he was a dancer, which helps understand how he carried himself so smoothly.

[@STORMY0O]

@@dougcase7545 I believe I saw him on YT dancing the Tango! The man knew how to be very “steamy “ !😉 He really was an extremely good dancer. His foot work is to be admired as opposed to me with two left feet!!! 😉

[@gabbysch2625]

And his dancing!

[@tinaarko6625]

He got his start dancing in Speakeasy's during prohibition. Another interesting fact about him is that he couldn't read, at least when he started in movies. Don't know if he ever learned to or not. There was a movie made about his life.

[@Cracktaculus]

Hi

[@IAmThatIAmLLC]

I grew up on Classic movies watching them with my parents & siblings. George Raft has been one of my favorites, along with James Gagney since I first saw "Each Dawn I Die" which started with George Raft & James Gagney. These two actors with Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable, Carry Grant, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewert, Edward Arnold, Eryl Flynn, Jack Carson, Zachery Scott, Robert Cummings, and John Wayne. The Actor George Raft slapped was also in "Each Dawn I Die". A great cast of Actors. The lead Actress in this movie, I just watched a movie with David Gavin & she was very good in that movie also!!! I love Classic Movies, I now watch them with my son as my parents did with me!!! We have pictures of a lot of Classic Actors on the wall in our movie-watching room where all of our Classic Movies are kept about 2000 Classic Movies. We have quite a collection & now we have discovered The Magic Of KZbin Classic Movie Collection, Awesome!!! Happy Holidays Everyone to You & All Of Your Loved Ones. Blessings to you All Forever, not just for 1 day but Forever!!!

[@aimanliser58]

He turned down films that Bogie took.

I'd have like to see George portray a mobster. Like Dutch Schultz or Waxy Gordon....bet he would have found another level as a straight-up, non-Italian killer black-market businessman.

[@Cracktaculus]

Wow. Just read he turned down THREE roles Bogart took and ran with....had a good agent, maybe low self-esteem or delusions of something else, maybe he didn't wanna go in a particular Hollywood direction with Satan....The worlds overdue for some old school could-have-been tell-alls. Hollywood is a corporate cesspool of legal gangsters now, and any films that are not big studio biopics suck ASSSSSSS!

I think he was a dancer and knew how to move.

[@gopherstate777]

George was a Taxi dancer for hire. Women would buy a ticket and George would dance with them. Cagney was a Taxi dancer too. George also had a dance routine he learned in Harlem at the Cotton Club. He would do a shim sham routine for the troops in the rain in WW2 anywhere he could fit a stage. Anything to entertain the troops. George is also credited with bringing the Rumba to the United States and was featured in a movie dancing it with Carole Lombard, the future Mrs. Clark Gable.

That car that George Raft is driving: - 1952 Sunbeam Talbot 90 Sports Saloon Mk.II (4-door Sports Saloon) - Mk.II produced were from 1948 - 1954 - Engine 2267cc S4 OHV - This engine was used on the 'Humber Hawk' - 1000 units made in 1952 of this model - Reinforced rear frame - Hypoid rear axle - Coil independent front suspension - Sliding roof standard - Top speed approx. 80/85mph This model 1952 Sunbeam Talbot 90 Sports Saloon Mk.II was availble as a 'Sports Saloon' (as this one in the film) or a 'Drophead Coupe' aka; softtop convertable.

Born: Constance Vera Stevens; 14 February 1915... Died: 24 September 2006 (aged 91); London, The most notable role of her career was as Carole Peters Radecki opposite Antom Walbrook in the famous WW2 film Dangerous Moonlight which featured in its musical score Richard Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto.

George raft was an easy 5’7”. Most of Hollywoods great actors were shorter in stature . Having shorter male counterparts was very common . Peter Lorre for example.

Lorre is a strange choice for comparison, I'd suggest someone like Cagney who in addition to being of shorter stature, was also a dancer and leading man like Raft... Lorre wasn't really either , as much as I enjoy his work.

I thought the same thing about Raft at first but have grown to appreciate him much more over time. Like Mitchum, he had a pretty laid-back and laconic delivery of his lines. Maybe that's why you call him a one-trick pony. As for turning down roles, I think it's easier to say that now than it was at the time.

Some reasons for his popularity were those same kinds of roles he played, cool, entertaining. Audiences loved him. Not to mention his eyes, voice and the Hot dance moves! His reputation towards women was one of respect And skilful seduction. Odd, but true! 😁
