My alternate universe

Van fans are sad too! He did a summer 1947 series of Philip Marlowe mysteries. Wonder what he wanted to do in the winter. *sob*

A beautiful edit of “Green Dolphin Street” featuring the true love story!

Found this in drafts. Looks like I was trying to put together some kind of Favorite Movies in GIFS post and got distracted.

June Allyson with Rod Taylor and Van Heflin, likely at the gala for "The Teahouse of the August Moon" premiere (1956).

One last "U.S. No. 1" item and photo before detouring to other Van Heflin projects!

Van Heflin with director Michael Cacoyannis, on the set of "The Wastrel" (1961). Van, 52, spent hours up to his neck in a water tank during the making of the movie.

For more, check out a video on Facebook that has some behind-the-scenes footage and newspaper clippings from the Maine segment.

Hitch a ride with Van Heflin! Here's a sketch and an article about a documentary he narrated -- "U.S. No. 1: American Profile" (1962).
