Mankiewicz co-screenwriter Marc Connelly and director Jules Dassin to such stalwart character actors as Philip Dorn John Carradine Reginald Owen Henry Daniell Albert Bassermann Howard Da Silva and unbilled bit player Ava Gardner.

Inveigling himself into Crawford's arms under the eyes of a Gestapo agent?? he enjoys her reluctant protection for a good deal long
