I only learned recently that the actor who played Willie, died in a plane crash a few years later. I always wondered why I never saw him in any other movies.
Me too-after the last time I watched it, I wondered, and looked it up. Well, that explained it.
So many great performances in that movie. Fred MacMurray. Wow. Did he ever nail that part.
The actor’s name escapes me right now but he was fling to Catalina Island to see his family and his plane crashed in front of them all.
