There is no doubt that Glenn Ford is one of the great Hollywood actors of his day and made MANY good movies that I enjoyed.
However, my all-time-favorite Glenn Ford movie is a little-known movie named "Pocketful of Mircles." Never laughed so much in my life. Peter Falk was also in that movie. Quote from Peter Falk in the movie because in those days there were no "ratings" for movies and they were still family oriented, "I'm gonna tell you somethin' that's gonna make you wet all over."

Someone should tell Congress to give him the Congressional Gold Medal.

New question. Isn't there an actor that looks kind of like him?

I didn't phrase that correctly. Isn't there another actor that looks like Glenn Ford? Or was Glenn Ford in "Blackboard Jungle"?

A marine in the ETO behind German lines ? This doesn't somehow sound right.

Don't forget, "Hey boss, these rich people play checkers with horses on them."

James Coburn was in that? Coburn played a small part, that of the Washington liason to Nimitz.
Lots of famous actors in that film. Just saw it again the other day (I can never NOT watch it). If you look close at the Midway Island scenes, you'll also see a very young Tom Selleck--without his mustache.

Assigned to the secretive world of spies and saboteurs were 51 Marines who served with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services to engage in behind-the-lines operations in North Africa and Europe from 1941 to 1945. These OSS Marines served with partisan and resistance groups in France, Germany, Yugoslavia, Italy, Austria, Albania, Greece, Morocco and Egypt; on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia; in Rumania; and in North and West Africa. Ten of these OSS Marines also served with forces in Ceylon, Burma, Malaya and China. Marine Colonel Peter J. Ortiz was twice awarded the Navy Cross for heroism while serving with the French Resistance.
