The Three Best Non-Western Audie Murphy Movies
- The Red Badge of Courage (1951) - widely regarded as his finest dramatic performance. [en.wikipedia.org]
- The Quiet American (1958) - his most prestigious non-Western role. [en.wikipedia.org]
- To Hell and Back (1955) - Universal's biggest box-office hit up to that time, with Murphy playing himself. [en.wikipedia.org], [imdb.com]
Interestingly, Murphy made over 40 feature films, but fewer than a dozen were true non-Westerns. The scarcity of these films is one reason collectors seek them out today. [en.wikipedia.org]
