God smiled and danced in the streets on this date in 1919 when Steve Brodie was born in El Dorado, KS.
Brodie got the bug for acting by performing in summer stock He hooked up with MGM in 1944 and his career was lauched.

Brodie was a versatile performer who appeared a many genres:
dramas (42); westerns (21); crime/film noir (21); romance (18) and adventure (16).

Mode = 6.5 (7)

Brodie extended his career through TV series in the 50s and 60s. He had reoccurring roles on: Lassie, Gunsmoke, Rawhide and Bonanza. Three of these were westerns.
I always enjoyed Brodie perform; he could be very serious, funny, loving and devious, all in the same movie.

- DirectorLew LandersStarsTim HoltMartha HyerRichard Martin"Thunder Mountain" is the first of Tim Holt's 29 postwar westerns spread over the five year period from June, 1947 to June, 1952. While the film has one Zane Grey title, it has more elements in it from Grey's "To the Last Man" than from Grey's "Thunder Mountain", a not uncommon practice by RKO when dealing with the works of (Zane Grey). This one had Marvin Hayden(Tim Holt) returning to his Arizona ranch and finding it about to be sold for taxes. It has been in charge of his Mexican-Irish friend Chito Rafferty (Richard Martin).

Later, Carson and Blue kill Chick by bashing his head with a rock so that Hayden, who is known not to carry a gun, will be charged with the murder. Hayden is jailed, but learns from family attorney Jim Gardner (Jason Robards Sr.), that there is still money in his ranch account that will pay the taxes, but the crooked sheriff stalls on accepting the payment.
