together," a persistent and cocky Dana Andrews tells his lovely and reluctant STATE FAIR, MADISON AVENUE and HOT RODS TO HELL three-decade co-star in their second feature, DUEL IN THE JUNGLE...<br>
<br>
An adventure where Andrews seems
 more a reluctant gentlemen the likes of Cary Grant or David Niven than an intrepid action star: a proverbial kite in an ongoing breeze instead of a determined salmon moving 
upstream...<br>
<br>
With a touch of character-actor about him in the first place, Andrews often tried very hard to stretch beyond the limited leading man persona,
even when he played the actual leading man, so the part as a New York insurance investigator in London, England, about to catch a plane just to be be called back at the last minute, fits like a brand new expensive and shiny glove. His voice is a tad higher-pitched, as if sped-up while delivering witty and sophisticated one-liners: imagine if his glibly sophisticated LAURA co-star Clifton Webb were the dialect coach and there you have it. <br>
