The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is William Bendix.


William Bendix for Chesterfield cigarettes

Back in the day, there was a lot of work for actors who could convincingly play working-class shlubs.  Bendix was one.  Others that match this description were Ernest Borgnine,  Lionel Stander, and George Tobias.  I could probably come up with several more if I tried.

The only thing I remember seeing William Bendix in was some movie about him being a criminal or something similar, and then he becomes a monk in some religious order that has a rule of silence. Wish I remembered the title.
