    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Ralph Bellamy


    TheDuchessofM — 17 years ago(January 01, 2009 12:38 AM)

    I saw Ralph in "Hands Across the Table" with Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray after first becoming acquainted with him in his best-known roles: the guy who loses the girl to Cary Grant in His Girl Friday and The Awful Truth. He was so dopey in those movies you could see why he lost Roz and Irene, but seeing him in an earlier filmthough, ironically, he still lost the girlplaying a suave, handsome man made me see him with new eyes! His voice was sexy in "Hands" too! Too bad he got stuck playing dopey guys in Hollywood of the 30s and 40s.

      He got sick and tired of playing the man who loses the girl which was known as "A Ralph Bellamy type". He went back to Broadway to find a part with guts and did.
      He was a charasmatic actor with great range.

        Yes. If you actually pay attention to him instead of Cary Grant you will actually notice that he's 1) tall 2) handsome and 3) very cute. Of course, I love Cary Grant (what girl doesn't?) but Ralph had such an incredibly long and versatile career, playing the putzy Dan Leeson in "Awful Truth" to the mean, two-faced Randolph Duke in "Trading Places" nearly 50 years later

          Not to mention that Bellamy also played a few bad guys and the President of The United States!
          One of the reasons Bellamy was offered his chance in Hollywood was because he was good looking, tall and had a good speaking voice. Some people have this idea that Bellamy always played men who lost the leading lady. He only did this a handful of times.

              I thought he was really cute in "The Picture Snatcher" with James Cagney. He didn't get.or want "the girl", but managed to get rid of the "second lead girl" who was a no-good-nick. Even gave her a good smack!

                I think Ralph Bellamy was one of those actors who was "in-between" with his looks. He wasn't handsome enough to be a matinee idol, but not ugly enough to be just a character actor.
