I’m far from a Bellamy expert, but he’s definitely charming in The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell. It would be hard to call him dull compared to the ever wooden Gary Cooper though.
He had another side even if it was shown rarely. To see him playing against his image watch 1966’s The Professionals. It’s a supporting role and he only appears at the beginning and at the end. He plays a wealthy rancher used to his money and power getting him his way, a mean son of a bitch who demands things not asks for them.
Cary Grant - “Say, don’t I know you…I’ve seen you somewhere before. Are you in the movies…you look just like that fellow…what’s his name?..Ralph Bellamy or something.”
