‘Dashing to the End: The Ray Milland Story'
Film critic and historian Eric Monder traces Ray Milland's tumultuous life in 'Dashing to the End: The Ray Milland Story.' This first-ever biography about the Welsh-born actor shows how Milland's career evolved in a series of starts and stops, rising to an Oscar-winning crescendo before dipping into a long series of mostly forgettable work. Born Alfred Reginald John Truscott-Jones in 1907, he served with distinction in the Household Cavalry of the British Army before drifting into the London-based film industry in the late 1920s. A serendipitous casting in the first British talkie, 'The Flying Scotsman,' (1929) caught the attention of a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) talent scout who secured a Hollywood contract for the newly renamed Ray Milland.

Get an early peek at the new Ken Burns documentary about the American Revolution
Advertisement Two snippets from the documentary are now available for viewing online. The Mark Feeney is a Globe arts writer . L-R: Filmmakers David Schmidt, Sarah Botstein, and Ken Burns. Stephanie Berger The clip offers two elements familiar to Burns devotees. The camera pans over a painting of the battle, and viewers hear from two talking-head experts. One, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Atkinson, calls the battle, won by the British at great cost, 'a Pyrrhic victory of the first order, four of the most awful hours of combat in American history.' Advertisement The English historian Stephen Conway elaborates on that, noting the British casualty rate that day was 40 percent. Conway adds that that would remain the highest percentage of casualties for the British Army for more than 140 years, until the first day of the Battle of the Somme, in World War I. That bloody day in Charlestown would loom large in British decision-making over the course of the next eight years. Mark Feeney can be reached at
