Teresa Wright: Robert Mitchum
built 655 days ago
Robert Mitchum and Teresa Wright star in this outstanding "noir" western with odd psychological overtones. Mitchum plays an orphan taken in by Wright's family. He falls in love with her despite being her near-sibling. At the same time a one-armed man is gunning for Mitchum. Veteran action director Raoul Walsh (White Heat) throws ominous rock formations or low-hung ceilings behind his characters to make them seem small and hunted. Pursued plays July 9 in a double bill with Roger Corman's Oklahoma Woman (1956) at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts as part of their Strange on the Range festival.

Nearly all of Ms. Wright's most memorable cinematic roles came during the war period. Another standout was Hitchcock's suspenseful "Shadow of a Doubt" (1942), in which she played the doubting niece of Joseph Cotten's seemingly normal Uncle Charlie, whom she suspects of serial murder. Later roles included "Pursued" opposite Robert Mitchum (1947), "The Men" (1950) with Marlon Brando and "The Restless Years" (1958).

Wright's lovely face, quiet manner and dramatic skill made her a popular leading actress in the 1940s and early '50s. She appeared opposite Cooper in "The Pride of the Yankees" and "Casanova Brown," Robert Mitchum in "Pursued," David Niven in "Enchantment," Lew Ayres in "The Capture" and Cornel Wilde in "California Conquest."

Wright returned to Broadway in 1957 to play Pat Hingle's wife in "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs." She later appeared in the 1968 production "I Never Sang for My Father," which was written by her second husband Robert Anderson, the 1975 revival of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" and the 1980 revival of Paul Osborn's "Morning's at Seven." Her marriages to Anderson and screenwriter Niven Busch both ended in divorce.

Wright retired from the screen in 1959, when she married playwright Robert Anderson. (They divorced, remarried and divorced again, though they always remained friends.) Before returning to the screen in 1969 in various supporting roles - for instance, playing the mother of hippie Michael Douglas in his debut feature Hail Hero! - Wright did some stage work, including an acclaimed performance as Linda Loman (opposite George C Scott) in the 1975 New York revival of Death Of A Salesman.
