Cheers to a fine Wednesday of viewing in May 1985. (A snippet from a "set your VCRs" roundup.)

Next up on the Van Heflin/Playhouse 90 hit parade: "The Cruel Day" (1960). Here's an ad and an article that features Van with Peter Lorre.

Here's an irresistible snippet from a press conference Van Heflin and Glenn Ford did to promote "3:10 to Yuma."

The whole article is a good one, too, so just "keep reading."

Hitch a ride with Van Heflin! Here's a sketch and an article about a documentary he narrated -- "U.S. No. 1: American Profile" (1962).

Here's a post for those of us who love Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler annnnnd Van Heflin!

A letter from Raymond Chandler to famed literary agent H.N. Swanson about a script for "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" radio show that aired in summer of 1947 and starred Van Heflin.

A photo put out by NBC to promote the radio show.

A guest column that Van wrote about meeting Raymond Chandler and understanding the character of Marlowe. (I've posted this before, but I thought I'd repost to accompany the two new-to-me items here.)

It's wonderful to get these insights and to know about their mutual admiration and respect!

This picture of Van Heflin and Mary Astor accompanies an article titled "The Story of Filming Act of Violence," written by Robert Surtees in American Cinematographer, August 1948.

It has excellent insight into the innovations and techniques used in making the film, which Surtees calls "a cameraman's picture."
