    I can understand Ernest Borgnine as he referred to her as "beautiful, but a tiger."

     

    Look at those "Bedroom" Eyes-WOW. Loved her as Rosa In "Trapeze" and of course "High Noon" and in "Broken Lance" with Spencer Tracy

    Also she was discovered by film director Budd Boetticher in 1951 at a Bull-Fight...

    I always like his soft spoken way of acting. I can't believe he wrote and starred in "Fiend of Dope Island" (1961) When I looked him up a while ago on IMDb.

     

    One comment was: Bruce Bennett Is Mad as Hell - and They Are Not Going to Take It Any More!

     

    I hope TCM finds and shows this film. It could be interesting..
