Our pic for today features Tim in one of his first speaking roles. Bloodhounds of Broadway (1952) was a musical comedy directed by Harmon Jones and based on the writings of Damon Runyon, who co-wrote the screenplay. Tim unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) doesn’t get to sing, but he does make an impression in the uncredited role of Crockett Pace, Mitzi Gaynor‘s hillbilly suitor.

He is about to get spectacularly punched out by fellow Brooklynite Scott Brady, brother of Lawrence Tierney, who later became a good friend of Tim’s.
