The Safecracker by Ray Milland
2022 movie #8. 1958. British safecracker (Milland) is released from prison to help a mission behind enemy lines to steal German spy network plans. Pretty good thriller. Also directed by Milland. I didn't didn't know he did that.
Actor's biographies are a mixed lot. Sometimes as in Candice Bergen's "Knock Wood", they are valuable documents and educate the reader. Sometimes they are obvious ghost-written pieces of puffery that are mentally classified as failed guilty pleasures. Ray Milland, I suspect had this one run up by co-operating with a ghost. Famous in his day, with an Oscar for his performance as an alcoholic in "The Lost Weekend", Milland has perfectly demonstrated his screen persona in this book. He often played perfect gentlemen, and comes across as one in this picture of Hollywood in the 1930's to 1950's.
