Glenn Ford & Gia Scala top a stand-out cast that includes Ann Francis, Keenan Wynn, Eva Gabor & Russ Tamblyn in this wry look at the war, whose seemingly lightweight nature belies its keen observations.

Glenn Ford served in the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. He served in World War II and the Vietnam War.Glenn Ford enlisted in the Coast Guard Auxiliary and began his training in September 1941, driving three nights a week to his unit in San Pedro and spending most weekends there. After playing a young pilot in Flight Lieutenant (1942), Ford went on a cross-country 12-city tour to sell war bonds for Army and Navy Relief. While making another war drama, Destroyer with ardent anti-fascist Edward G. Robinson, Ford impulsively volunteered for the United States Marine Corps Reserve on December 13, 1942. He was assigned in March 1943 to active duty at the Marine Corps Base in San Diego. With his Coast Guard service, he was offered a position as an officer, but Ford declined, feeling it would be interpreted as preferential treatment for a movie star and instead entered the Marines as a private. He trained at the Marine base in San Diego, where Tyrone Power, the number-one male movie star at the time, was also based. Power suggested Ford join him in the Marines' weekly radio show Halls of Montezuma, broadcast Sunday evenings from San Diego. Ford excelled in training, winning the Rifle Marksman Badge and being named "Honor Man" of the platoon and promoted to sergeant by the time he finished.Awaiting assignment at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base, Ford volunteered to play a Marine raider – uncredited – in the film Guadalcanal Diary, made by Fox, with Ford and others charging up the beaches of Southern California. He later showed this to his little boy Peter, along with his many other black-and-white battle scenes in other films. Frustratingly for Ford, filming battle scenes was the closest he would ever get to any action. After being sent to Marine Corps Schools Detachment (Photographic Section) in Quantico, Virginia, three months later, Ford returned to the San Diego base in February 1944 and was assigned to the radio section of the Public Relations Office, Headquarters Company, Base Headquarters Battalion, where he resumed work on Halls of Montezuma.Just as Eleanor, now his wife, was expecting the birth of their child and Ford himself was looking forward to Officers Training School, he was hospitalized at the U.S. Naval Hospital in San Diego with what turned out to be duodenal ulcers, which afflicted him for the rest of his life. He was in and out of the hospital for the next five months and finally received a medical discharge on the third anniversary of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1944. Though without the combat duty he had been hoping for, Ford was awarded several service medals for his three years in the Marines Reserve Corps: the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal, created in 1945 for anyone who had been on active duty since December 1941. After serving in World War II, Ford joined up for yet a third time in 1958. He entered the U.S. Naval Reserve, was commissioned as a lieutenant commander and was made a public affairs officer – the position he had portrayed the previous year in the successful comedy Don't Go Near the Water. During his annual training tours, he promoted the Navy through radio and television broadcasts, personal appearances, and documentary films.Ford continued to combine his film career with his military service, and was promoted to commander in 1963 and captain in 1968, after he went to Vietnam in 1967 for a month's tour of duty as a location scout for combat scenes in a training film entitled Global Marine. In support of Democratic President Lyndon Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam War, he traveled with a combat camera crew from the demilitarized zone south to the Mekong Delta. For his service in Vietnam, the Navy awarded him a Navy Commendation Medal. He finally retired from the Naval Reserve in the 1970s with the rank of captain. He was awarded the Marine Corps Reserve Ribbon, which recognizes those who spend 10 years of honorable reserve service.We do accept donations to help support our channel since we do not monetize a single video.

Cade's County was a great Glenn Ford TV-series that ran for one season from September 19, 1971 until April 9, 1972. Glenn Ford plays Sam Cade, the tough but sensitive sheriff of sprawling Madrid County located somewhere in the American Southwest. As an added bonus, we threw in the pilot and the two TV movies (4 episodes) of Glenn Ford's only other TV series, The Family Holvak.Notable Cade's County guest stars included Darren McGavin (1), Martin Sheen (3), William Shatner (7), Bobby Darin (10), Broderick Crawford (11), Johnny Crawford (11), Edmond O'Brien (15), Bobby Sherman (21), Ed Asner (22) and Nordberg (23).Cade's County CastGlenn Ford - Sheriff Sam CadeEdgar Buchanan - Deputy J.J. JacksonTaylor Lacher - Arlo PritchardVictor Campos - Rudy DavilloPeter Ford - Deputy PeteSandra Ego - Joanie Little BirdBetty Ann Carr - Betty Ann SundownThree TV movies were made from six of the 24 Cade's County episodes:The Marshall of Madrid (1971)A Gun for Billy (10) & Crisscross (4) Sam Cade (1972)Homecoming (1) & Blackout (22)Slay Ride (1972)Slay Ride Part 1 (16) & Slay Ride Part 2 (17)https://www.facebook.com/actorglennfordQuentin Tarantino has given us some details about Rick Dalton's fate following the events of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."But the thing is, on the episodic-TV circuit, he's a bigger name now. He's not quite Darren McGavin, all right? Darren McGavin (Cade's County Episode One "The Homecoming") would get paid the highest you could get paid as a guest star back in that time. But Rick's about where John Saxon was, maybe just a little bit higher. So he's getting good money and doing the best shows. And the episodes are all built around him. So as opposed to doing 'Land of the Giants' and 'Bingo Martin,' now he's the bad guy on 'Mission: Impossible,' and it's his episode...Oh, and he does a Vince Edwards show, 'Matt Lincoln.' Or a Glenn Ford show, 'Cade's County.' And that's a big deal, 'cause he did 'Hell-Fire Texas' with Glenn Ford and they didn't really get along. But now they bury the hatchet and they make a big deal about the two guys doing it together. And then he does a couple of Paul Wendkos' TV movies (The Brotherhood of the Bell). And you know, he's doing OK."Hell-Fire Texas is a fictional 1964 western directed by Phil Karlson starring Glenn Ford, Rick Dalton, Inger Stevens, Max Baer and Harrison Ford (his debut). The poster is based on the French poster for A Time For Killing (1967) which is an actual movie starring Glenn Ford, George Hamilton, Inger Stevens, Max Baer Jr. and Harrison Ford (his debut).We do accept donations to help support our channel since we do not monetize a single video.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... ....was a thing called radio serials. Glenn Ford did an exciting series in 1950 called "The Adventures of Christopher London" with three of the eighteen or nineteen episodes surviving. Two of his classic movies were also turned into radio broadcasts: Gallant Journey (1946) with his leading lady Janet Blair and A Stolen Life (1947) with the legendary Bette Davis. And, Glenn does a radio broadcast of the classic film "The Thirty-Nine Steps" in 1948. I am sure Alfred Hitchcock loved it.There are also two episodes of Suspense and lots of other fun radio shows featuring Bob Hope, Phil Silvers and Lionel Barrymore.We do accept donations to help support our channel since we do not monetize a single video.
