Warner Bros gave Troy Donahue a great buildup. From A Crowded Sky , A Summer Place, and a great hit Parrish gaining top billing over a true movie legend Claudette Colbert. Donahue romanced a trio of WB beauties in Parrish: Connie Stevens, Diane McBain and Sharon Hugueny. Troy Donahue starred in Susan Slade with Connie Stevens, Rome Adventure with Angie Dickson and his future wife Suzy Pleshette, onto Palm Springs Weekend again with Connie Stevens, Ty Hardin, Bob Conrad, then a serious Director Raoul Walsh in A Distant Trumpet again with Ms. Pleshette and sexy Diane McBain . William Reynolds a great WB contract star has a small role but would go on to star in Warner Bros TV hit show the FBI
Troy had a star bungalow on the WB Lot asnd was treated as a major star! WB always starred Troy: In his WB movies he was first billed over stars such as Claudette Colbert. His movies were great A Summer Place, Parrish, Susan Slade, Rome Adventure are all wonderful. Palm Springs Weekend was a big hit and WB gave him a giant western in A Distant Trumpet! In hindsight Troy made a poor ly strategic movie fighting Jack Warner.
Troy Donahue fought for more adult roles and long came this one directed by Bill Conrad. This is a suspense with good locations and some nifty photography. Joey Heatherton co stars. Carol Lynleyy was supposed to co star but Otto Preminger who had Lynley under contract exercised his option on Lynley so she would not have to do this film.
Troy Donahue is alleged to have had 2 years left on his WB contract and gained his release. Troy Donahue claimed Jack Warner blackballed him the industry. Troy was the #1 male star at WB yet could not get a TV show after his release the way fellow WB stars did: Bob Conrad The Wild Wild West, Van Williams The Green Hornet or William Reynolds with the FBI. Troy's only role on TV was a cameo on the Patty Duke Show!
Troy Donahue and his Warner Bros films especially Parrish and Rome Adventure are wonderful to watch.
RIP Troy.
