ray was loaned to warner bros to appear in "battle cry" (1955). this was directed by raoul walsh who would be one of ray's favourite directors. the film was a box-office hit - probably the most popular movie ray ever made - although it led to him being typecast.









































"in some ways the tough soldier role locked me in", reflected ray later. "there were no sophisticated roles for me. i never seemed to get past master sergeant, though i always thought of myself as upper echelon."
