Robert Young's Dark Side

Movie Morlocks blog has an entry on some of the "darker" roles Robert Young has played in his career: The Mortal Storm and They Won't Believe Me.

There's a comment from a reader about Robert Montgomery, Robert Taylor, and Robert Young - how some of their better roles were the evil ones. I'll second that.

Hi

I noticed your links list - is Classic Montgomery going to be a full-on website soon? Keep up the good work!

Nice blog!!! Speaking of darker roles that Montgomery did, how about his role in "Night Must Fall" played along with Rosaline Russell? I think this was his darkest role by far. He plays a charming young man who enchants a wealthy old woman---eventually revealing his true colors. He was truly intense in this film.

Will add a link from my blog to yours.

Anna - yep!

Ms. Bacall - thanks!
NMF is a beaut of a film. Only in classic film can you put across the thought & fear of a severed head without even showing it!

Oh, and a link to your blog has been added too!
