"Tom Neal in the lead. His life was as interesting as the character he portrayed: he graduated from Harvard Law, was a superior boxer, and later in life killed his wife, shooting her head off from behind with a .45 caliber handgun (he served six years). Earlier, Neal had beaten Franchot Tone to a pulp, breaking a cheekbone, smashing his nose, and giving him a concussion as they fought over a woman."

Maybe he wasn't such a good actor; he was just being himself?
