Roddy is one of the first actors I remember being a favorite of mine. I would have given anything to meet him. Those in the know say that his parties were the best in Hollywood.

ActualPotential1, FREAKIN unbelievable his acting should b good enough alone. What Roddy did as a man in his OWN life shouldn't concern is. So what he was gay. Did that effect how he acted. Lets let him RIP.

The movie has an interesting concept. Humans feel a superiority to all other species. However, if you consider Darwin's theory and the theories of anthropology, other species, especially apes, theoretically could have been in our place and humans just another animal. I know this idea will not be liked by many people, but just try thinking out of the box and consider it.

I recognize his face inspite of the makeup. And no, I never saw the movie. But I knew he was in the film.

He was not in the second film "Beneath the Planet of the Apes". He had a prior commitment.

"How Green Was My Valley" is the classic that catapulted him to fame at a young age. Excellent movie.
