Steve is a menace in "TKe Damned Don't Cry." Yet he's got same qualities that Gable has.
By Mary Jane Manners
EVERY movie beauty (unattached and some otherwise) takes one look at Steve Cochran and mentally notes, "He's for me." But there's one hitch: Steve rarely gives a picture name girl a tumble. Furthermore, Steve says, "I should never get married. I am not the husband type. And I know by experience whereof I speak."
