DeForest Kelley, Coronado 9, “Loser’s Circle” (1960)
Here’s young De Kelley in an interesting cop drama/sci-fi crossover, or at least I assume that’s what this is, bc I can’t think of any other reason for him being cast as a dude who has to manipulate women to get their attention.
Snark aside, this is like his westerns in that not only does he look alarmingly hot in a hat, he’s a 2-D POS who dies the way he lived (albeit in a pretty sweet death scene, tumbling dramatically over the rails at the lovely Del Mar Racetrack). I can gif that, too, if anyone cares to see, but for now, my brain pretty much shorted out when he started smirking around that cigarette at the end there. 😏
