 In Good Company
He’s a bit giddy when he meets the unhappy Dan, whom he’s keeping on as his assistant, and blurts out that at 51, Dan is older than Carter’s father.
Dan’s home life is secure and content, even though he’s stunned to learn that his wife Ann (Marg Helgenberger) is pregnant.
There are a lot of threads to this narrative, and not all of them are handled perfectly—the story of Ann and her pregnancy merely glances in, so to speak, and the stories of the fired “Sports America” employees have to be resolved in quick glimpses.

 Biography for Dan Duryea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Dan Duryea was educated at Cornell University and worked in the advertising business before pursuing his career as an actor.
Duryea made his Broadway debut in the play "Dead End."; The critical acclaim he won for his performance as Leo Hubbard in the Broadway production of "The Little Foxes" lead to his appearance in the film version, in the same role.
On-screen, Duryea exhibited every human weakness: He was mean-spirited, cowardly, selfish, weak-and yet, somehow, strangely compelling if not totally endearing.

Hopta (Dan Duryea) is the American who lives next door to a cat fancier, Mrs.
To watch him ingratiate himself with the kindly older neighbor and all the time he is planning to poison her and when that doesn't work to strangle her, makes for a frightening character portrayal of someone you think you know but don't.
Duryea is so good at acting out this part with just the right balance of charm, controlled madness and hubris.

Duryea claims to be as US marshal, and further claims that he has a warrant for the arrest of the town popular sheriff, John Payne.
But since it is impossible to confirm or deny Duryea's allegations, the seeds of doubt are planted in the minds of the townspeople, and before long virtually all of Payne's "friends" have turned against him.
But Duryea is able to pin the blame of the killing on Payne, and in a twinkling the sheriff is a hunted man. The only person willing to give Payne the benefit of the doubt is town trollop Dolores Moran (Mrs.

Dan Duryea plays a Western bounty hunter, expert in his job, but ill at ease with his conscience.
Ultimately, Duryea meets his end at the hands of a younger man (Peter Duryea, Dan's son), who becomes a bounty hunter himself, starting the cycle all over again.

 Burgular, The
In my book, no movie of the classic film noir period of the 1940s and 1950s starring Dan Duryea could be a complete failure.
Besides Duryea, who never fails to fascinate as he projects the complexities under the surface of his characters with a peculiar quirky instability, the film features Jayne Mansfield as a child-woman and the catalyst for trouble among the gang of thieves.
Though gang leader Duryea is a pretty cool customer, we are sweating a little along with him.

 Karl Benson
Dan Duryea plays gum-popping KARL BENSON, a crooked ex-cop reduced to doing repo jobs, divorce frame-ups and assorted other sordid sidelines in Lewis foster's flawed but entertaining 1949 noir, Manhandled.
The flick does have its moments -- Duryea is, as always, compelling to watch, as yet another malicious, bullying villian (with trademark bowtie) and the producers were no doubt hoping to take advantage of Duryea's on-screen rep for slapping womn around (in real life, Duryea was supposedly a pussycat).
"With Dan Duryea in the main role of Karl Benson, a crooked private eye, Manhandled might have been a true classic in that series of thrillers dealing with the degraded cop or investigator.

Dundee is played by Dan Duryea, a veteran of these types of movies.
Slim is a questionable character, some would say a bit of a hoodlum (the back of the box did) so he's surrounded by a gang of guys that suck up to him and I guess hang around until Slim decides to pull a job or something.

If not a classic, it's still a good picture that provided Dan Duryea with a chance at stardom, for the first time playing the pivotal role instead of the colorful weasels of Wyler's The Little Foxes, Fritz Lang's The Woman in the Window and its similar followup Scarlet Street.
Films noir either have protagonists compromised by the dark and angst-ridden side of life, or like Dan Duryea's Martin Blair they are unusually weak characters struggling against powers they don't understand.
Dan Duryea makes an excellent "weak" hero as he could go either way, either giving in to his inner demons or finding hidden resources of strength.

 Barnes & Noble.com - The Black Angel -- Roy William Neill - DVD - Subtitled / B&W / Pan & Scan
With an ingenious script by Roy Chanslor, this modest, but imaginative film noir is notable for the strong performance by lead actor Dan Duryea Alcoholic musician Martin Blair (Duryea) becomes the prime suspect when his cheating wife is murdered, until it is determined that he was "sleeping one off" at the time of the killing.
Normally assigned to villainous roles, Dan Duryea gives a surprisingly impressive performance as an affectingly romantic character and is by far the most interesting and sympathetic character in the film.
The film is riddled with rich curiosities of character; Kirk’s philandering innocence, Mavis’ evil vixen turned victim, Catherine’s never wavering devotion to her wayward hubby and Blair’s nonchalant, noncommittal dedication to discovering who really killed his wife.

 Scifilm -- TV Files, Twilight Zone: "Mr. Denton on Doomsday"
It's the Old West: a place where horse and wagon is the chief mode of transport, where a man's reputation is often built on how fast he can draw a gun and the local saloon seems his only escape.
It's in this very world we find one Al Denton (Dan Duryea), a former gunfighter now a dedicated drunk...a man who has come to need the drink so bad he'll perform any humiliating act he has to in order to get a drop of the stuff.
It might be the excellent cast...Malcolm Atterbury as Henry J. Fate proves quite memorable plus there's the fun of actually seeing him and Dan Duryea along with Martin Landau and Doug McClure, but most likely the main reason I like this so much is Duryea's fantastic lead performance.

Before long Lancaster learns that Dan Duryea, a favorite film noir heavy, is romancing his ex-wife.

On his very first night back in town, he returns to his favorite nightclub, where he sees his slinky ex-wife Anna (Yvonne De Carlo) on the arm of local gangster Slim Dundee (Dan Duryea).
Film noir staple Dan Duryea (Scarlett Street) makes for a rather pallid villain and seems too slight to pose any real threat to Lancaster.
As for De Carlo, she's got the classic, forties-era femme fatale look but none of the sexy self assurance and mystery that Lauren Bacall and Jane Greer brought to their roles in To Have and Have Not (1944) and Out of the Past (1947), respectively.

 blackangel
Black Angel is a film noir armed with the following: a brilliant script by Roy Chanslor that is taken from a Cornell Woolrich novel, an engaging performance turned in by Dan Duryea who is in a rare role as someone sympathetic, and it is directed flawlessly by Roy William Neill.
The self-pitying musical composer and piano player, Marty Blair (Duryea), husband of obnoxious but sexy nightclub singer Mavis Marlowe (Dowling), tries to get her to remember their wedding anniversary by sending her the jeweled, heart-shaped brooch he gave her when they were married but she left behind when she split from him.
It was an excellent character study of the Dan Duryea character, making him into a complicated fl angel figure.
