Fred MacMurray was before my time, so only really know the man from television reruns of "My Three Sons", and of course seeing his film on television. Still have to say young Fred MacMurray was hot as fuck. But he smoked, which is a total sex killer far as one is concerned.
My latest, 1954's film noir, "Pushover," stars Fred MacMurray & Kim Novak. TCM airs this twice on Easter, @ 12:30 a.m. & 10 a.m./ET.

[on Fred MacMurray] I really liked him very much but the feeling wasn't mutual. That hurt me a lot and for a long time I hated him. It's hard not to hate somebody who doesn't like you.

He was typecast as the nice guy before "Double Indemnity." Check ...

Vance's Ethel Mertz character was the less-than-prosperous landlady of a New York City brownstone, owned by her and husband Fred Mertz on East 68th Street. The role of Fred was played by William Frawley, who was 22 years her senior. While the actors shared great comedic and musical chemistry on-screen, they did not get along in real life.
