It's a very special CV

He managed to feature in a few noir pics before he passed on, I'll have to seek out No Man of Her Own since I haven't seen that one yet. I imagine he's doing very good character actor work in it.

He was the judge in Alias Nick Beal , I love him for that.

Alias Nick Beal is one of those films I'd never gotten around to, so I made a point of catching up with it today. Interesting cross-pollination of film noir and Faust, and right up Ray Milland's alley. Speaking of Milland, nice call on the other thread about a Scandal Sheet/The Big Clock double feature.

And to drag your usernamesake into it, Milland might have been more suitable casting than James Stewart for Rope. One of the nice things about ol' Ray was his ability to play both earnest protagonist and nefarious reprobate with seemingly equal comfort, and the moral ambiguity of Rupert Cadell would have allowed him to display aspects of both at once.
