And subsequently he never took a role in a war movie, though of course that's what the studios wanted him to be in. He felt it would be exploitative. A man of rare integrity.
He couldn't get the same kinds of roles after the war because his war experiences aged him so much that he looked like a middle-aged man. He's 34 at left, 36 at right, two years into his war service.
