I actually remember Jim Hutton, from watching "The Green Berets" on video at age 9 or 10 together with my father. I seem to remember him from suffering a somewhat brutal demisesome spiky reck as I recall!?
For some reason (perhaps the graphic death in TGB :-)), he's managed to stay in my memory for all this time, even his name has stuck with me since. So, just today "Hellfighters" was on Danish television, and I just wanted to slap myself across the face for not making the connection before in my movie buff life - It's obvious that he and Timothy is related.
Of course, I turned to IMDb and behold - It seems I was the last person in the universe to realize this. -

I've seen him in two movies: "The Green Berets" and "Major Dundee", where he played fairly similar characters. Particularly like him in the latter, where his character evolved from an inept greenhorn to a competent officer over the course of the film.

hi, i'm a great jim's fan since i discovered the "ellery queen" series on my local tv 18 years ago. one of my favourite movies is "never is too late" although i agree that paula prentiss was his perfect partner. i'm trying to get -through ebay- some of that first movies but it's really difficult.
yesterday i was rewatching "the sky trap" (a tv movie for disney) where he plays the bad guy and it's very difficult to me to believe it, he seemed such a nice person!

Walk Don't Run
, played against Cary Grant and Sammantha Eggar, is Jim Hutton's classic film in my book. That he is able to stand up against Cary Grant as well as he does is a testament to Hutton's acting skill and personal charm. I wish his family would post photos of him on this IMDb site. -

I adored Jim Hutton and remember how shocked I was when I heard of his death.
I found him very like James Stewart in his acting, and had a huge crush on him.
So sad that he died so young.
BBC2 in the UK are currenly showing "Ellery Queen" on Sunday mornings.

God, was he cute. and not too tall for me, a 5'10" giantess; i do not like what happened to him at the end of "the green berets," an asinine movie i watched only to confirm its lousy reputation. i certainly don't blame jim hutton for its lousi5b4ness, or even for being in the damn thing; hey, an actor has to work, right? but he still makes my heart thump. his baby face and gangly body and oh that turned-up nose! why did he have to die so young and in such a painful way? perhaps we'll meet in the great beyond

Allegedly, per two old newspaper clippings somewhere around 62 or 64, he had a problem drinking after his first divorce. If he any problem, it didn't seem to affect his acting. He was great in Ellery Queen. I know a lady who never drank alcohol because of her beliefs, and she died of liver cancer, so drinking may have absolutely nothing to do with it.

"Has anybody ever seen him in "Who's Minding the Mint?" A great comedy, a forgotten classic."
I just saw this movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It's absolutely hilarious! Definitely one of the funniest movies ever made.

"I developed a big crush on Jim after seeing Walk Don't Run. The man is absolutely gorgeous!"
Yup
I saw this movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago. He was so sexy in it! He's even better looking in the Ellery Queen series.

I not only remember Jim Hutton… I remember Mrs. Ellery Queen, the poster up above from the IMDb days as well.
I liked her a lot.
Well, Woody, are you ready for tomorrow? I didn't forget!
I plan to wish you a Happy Birthday. I plan to encourage everyone else to make their own Happy Birthday posts as well.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
Fasten Your Seatbelts….
