While watching "Blueprint for Murder". When Patrick O'Neil gets slapped by Forrest Tucker, it reminded me of a scene in the film "In Harm's Way". In that film it was Kirk Douglas that slapped Patrick O'Neil.
I always wonder whether that "decides" Elliott when it comes to the murder.
Patrick O'Neal was very good at playing sensitive characters. His best role of that kind (or his best role, period) is in the movie CASTLE KEEP with Peter Falk himself.
