Don Murray was nominated for an Academy Award for his first film, BUS STOP, and only got better from then on. With turns in films by Otto Preminger (ADVISE AND CONSENT), Fred Zinnemann (A HATFUL OF RAIN) and Francis Ford Coppola (PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED), as well as countless appearances on television (not to mention cult favorite CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES), Murray has given audiences dozens of indelible performances.
A HATFUL OF RAIN, 1957, 20th Century Fox, 109 min. Dir. Fred Zinnemann. Korean War veteran Johnny Pope (Don Murray) becomes hooked on morphine in a military hospital. When he moves into an apartment complex with his wife (Eva Marie Saint) and brother (Anthony Franciosa), his addiction has drastic repercussions for the whole family. A terrific score by Bernard Herrmann adds to the drama. [35mm]
