Edmon Ryan Mossbarger, né le 5 juin 1905 à Cecilia (Kentucky) et mort le 4 août 1984 à Louisville (Kentucky), est un acteur américain, connu comme Edmon Ryan (parfois crédité Edmond Ryan).

Biography

Edmon Ryan débute au théâtre et joue notamment à Broadway (New York) dans neuf pièces, la première en 1934-1935. En 1945-1946, il apparaît dans Dream Girl d'Elmer Rice, aux côtés de Betty Field (remplacée en cours de production par Haila Stoddard ) et de Wendell Corey. Il reprend cette pièce en 1951, personnifiant le même personnage, le rôle féminin principal étant cette fois tenu par Judy Holliday.

Ses deux dernières pièces à Broadway sont The Marriage-Go-Round de Leslie Stevens (1958-1960, avec Charles Boyer et Claudette Colbert), puis Lord Pengo (1962-1963, avec Charles Boyer et Agnes Moorehead). Cette dernière production est reprise en 1963 à Londres (où il séjourne vers la fin des années 1930, y jouant déjà à cette occasion en 1936 et 1939).

Au cinéma, il contribue à trente-sept films, les dix premiers britanniques sortis entre 1936 et 1939 (dont Crime sur Londres d'Alfred Zeisler en 1936, avec Margot Grahame et Paul Cavanagh).

Son premier film américain est Bastogne de William A. Wellman (1949, avec Van Johnson et John Hodiak) ; le dernier est Tora ! Tora ! Tora ! de Richard Fleischer et autres (coproduction américano-japonaise, 1970, avec Martin Balsam et Joseph Cotten), après quoi il se retire. Dans l'intervalle, citons Trafic en haute mer de Michael Curtiz (1950, avec John Garfield et Patricia Neal), Deux sur la balançoire de Robert Wise (1962, avec Robert Mitchum et Shirley MacLaine) et L'Étau d'Alfred Hitchcock (son avant-dernier film, 1969, avec Frederick Stafford et Dany Robin).

Signalons aussi sa participation à quatre films italiens dans les années 1950, dont D'Artagnan, chevalier de la reine de Mauro Bolognini (1954, avec Sebastian Cabot et Marina Berti).

À la télévision américaine (exceptée une série italienne en 1956), Edmon Ryan collabore à une adaptation téléfilmée en 1955 de la pièce Dream Girl précitée, ainsi qu'à cinquante-neuf séries dès 1950. Mentionnons Alfred Hitchcock présente (trois épisodes, 1956-1960), Perry Mason (trois épisodes, 1962-1964) et La Nouvelle Équipe, sa dernière série, lors d'un épisode diffusé en 1970.

In 1941, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (Sō Yamamura) and his predecessor, Zengo Yoshida (Junya Usami), discuss America's embargo that starves Japan of raw materials. While both agree that a war with the United States would be a complete disaster, army hotheads and politicians push through an alliance with Germany and start planning for war. With the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto orders the planning of a preventive strike, believing Japan's only hope is to annihilate the American Pacific fleet at the outset of hostilities.

In Copenhagen in 1962, a high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer, Boris Kusenov (Per-Axel Arosenius), defects to the West with his wife and daughter after a chase through the streets to the US embassy. In Washington DC, CIA agent Mike Nordstrom (John Forsythe) debriefs him and learns that Russian ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads are to be placed in Cuba. Needing physical evidence of the missiles, he contacts an old friend, French agent André Devereaux (Frederick Stafford), at his house in Georgetown. Nordstrom discloses Kusenov's name to Devereaux, asking him to bribe Luis Uribe, a member of Cuba's U.N. delegation, to provide photographs of documents confirming the missile bases in Cuba (knowing that Uribe hates the United States and would never cooperate with an American agent). Devereaux decides to accompany his daughter Michèle (Claude Jade) on her honeymoon with journalist François Picard (Michel Subor) as a reason to go to New York City. His wife Nicole (Dany Robin) is worried and tries to dissuade him.

Marsha Mitchell (Ginger Rogers), a traveling dress model, stops in the Southern town of Rockpoint to see her newlywed sister, Lucy Rice (Doris Day). Within minutes of entering the town she notices unusual behavior by the townsfolk, such as dozens of people closing up shop and getting out of sight. As she walks down the almost-pitch-black main street, she sees loud noises coming from the police station. She hides but sees a drunken KKK mob, beating and berating a man whom they had just broken out of jail. The man untangles himself from their clutches, and he starts to run but goes only a few yards before someone in the mob twice fires a shotgun, killing him by striking him in the torso and the head. The mob, confused, approaches the fallen man, arguing among themselves. Marsha, hiding around a corner from the crime scene, gets a good look at two of the men, who have removed their hoods during the fiasco.
