🎬 1950: Linda Darnell received lessons from Valentine Becker (a California State Rehabilitation Officer for the Deaf), who also taught sign language to costars Richard Widmark and Harry Bellaver for the movie No Way Out.
The character George Biddle played by Harry Bellaver in the film was a deaf man, and Darnell's character needed to be able to communicate with him. (20th Century Fox)
The Brothers Rico (1957)
"Okay, okay, so nobody's blaming you! Let's just say something happened way back, huh? So maybe I am gonna die. But, Eddie, you've got even bigger troubles. You're gonna live."
Ethel Merman shot a bull’s eye last night with Annie Get Your Gun. For verve and buoyancy, unslackening, there has seldom if ever been a show like it. It would not be a bad idea to declare an annual Merman Day of all May 16ths in the future.

Co-writer/director Joseph L Mankiewicz’s 1950 pioneering hospital-bound race-issue film-noir melodrama is commendably intense and powerful.
Sidney Poitier stars as Dr Luther Brooks, a young black doctor whose white patient dies; a race riot ensues. Richard Widmark and Harry Bellaver co-star as the Biddle brothers, brought wounded to the hospital after they have tried to rob a garage. It is…
