This is the first book dedicated to Brian Donlevy, an underrated
actor who was often typecast as a villain but who had a surprising
range and an unheralded gift for comedy. Separating fact from
fiction, the narrative charts his colorful early life as a boy
soldier, his years playing comedy on Broadway, and details his long
career in Hollywood. Although he made a decided impact as the bad
guy in such classics as Destry Rides Again, Union Pacific and Beau
Geste, he also displayed his range in the title role of Preston
Sturges' timeless political satire The Great McGinty (1940).
Thereafter he impressed both the New York critics and the Soviet
government as the epitome of calm authority in Wake Island. He
showed to good effect in a wide variety of films including The
Glass Key, Kiss of Death, Canyon Passage, Command Decision, Song of
Scheherazade, Impact and The Big Combo among many others. He was
fondly remembered as a globe-trotting detective in the television
series Dangerous Assignment, and as Professor Quatermass in two
acclaimed science fiction films.]
