Fun to see a familiar face


I love spotting familiar actors in early screen appearances. In the first 10 minutes of HERE COMES MR. JORDON (1941), the original version of Warren Beatty’s HEAVEN CAN WAIT (1978) about a man prematurely taken from his body by an over-zealous angel, a young airman leans out of a heavenly airplane and delivers a few lines of dialog. It’s Lloyd Bridges (1913-98), then 27. It was his seventh movie - his first was in 1936.
