Watched They Were Expendable on TCM this weekend [View all]

In one scene Donna Reed was walking with two other nurses and one of them gave John Wayne a dirty look,
a dirty look like only Thelma Ritter could do. I looked her up on IMDB and her first movie credit was a year
after They Were Expendable. She was not listed in T.W.E. as she never said a word, just that dirty look she
gave John Wayne for being somewhere he shouldn't have been.

Has anyone else ever thought they seen Thelma Ritter in T.W.E.? I'll record it the next time it's on to get a
better look.
