The Seventh Cross
Bressart soon became a popular character actor in films like "Blossoms in the Dust" (1941), "The Seventh Cross" (1944), and "Without Love" (1945). Perhaps his largest role was in an RKO "B" musical comedy "Ding Dong Williams", in 1945. Bressart, billed third, played the bemused supervisor of a movie studio's music department, and appeared in formal wear to conduct an orchestral version of Chopin's "Fantaisie-Impromptu".
