He was in several war movies. I was just watching Dragnet the other day. I knew he was still alive. Funny he just died! :(

One of his earliest speaking roles was in that WW2 tub Thumper 'On a Wing and a Prayer' which starred Dana Andrews and Alexander Graham Bell....er... Don Amichi, and was also the first screen appearance (I think) of Richard Jaeckel as the 17 year old turret gunner.

MULE FRITTERS! :)

Wing And A Prayer was a great movie. Outstanding footage of SB2C and TBM carrier ops. Morgan also starred in another Jimmy Stewart movie- The Glenn Miller Story.

So long, Sherm.
