Leave Her to Heaven
He was in a comedy at Columbia with Ginger Rogers, "It Had to Be You" (1947). At Fox he turned down a role in "That Lady in Ermine" (1948). Not wanting to go on suspension again he agreed to make "The Walls of Jericho" (1948), from the same director as "Leave Her to Heaven" but less popular. "Road House" (1948), for Fox, was a highly regarded noir and a decent-sized hit. He then left Fox, which he later regarded as a mistake.
