As his career progresssed he played a number of roles as a violent, yet sexy, bad guy throughout the 1940s in a number of film noirs. Duryea usually played a con man or criminal who beat his women. His work in this era included Scarlet Street, The Woman in the Window, Criss Cross and Black Angel. By the 1950s, Duryea spent most of his time appearing in television programs and an occasional western. Other notable roles included parts in Winchester '73 and Flight of the Phoenix. He also appeared in one of the first Twilight Zone episodes in 1959 as a drunken former gunfighter in "Mr. Denton on Doomsday", written by Rod Serling. External links Duryea Duryea
