The Red House was the first film to earn 20-year-old Julie London critical acclaim for her acting skills as well as for her up-and-coming co-stars, Rory Calhoun, Lon McCallister and Allene Roberts. The February 24th, 1947 edition of LIFE Magazine, has a nice article with additional photographs on how the quartet of young actors supported veteran Edward G. Robinson in this dark thriller.

NOW SHE’S REALLY GOING UP

JULIE LONDON, 19, operated an elevator in a Hollywood store until discovered by Sol Lesser. You’ll soon be seeing Julie in a featured role opposite Edward G. Robinson.
