The Two Lives of Hugh Beaumont

Last night I watched an old b&w movie, The Seventh Victim, from 1943. One of the stars of this picture was Hugh Beaumont. Beaumont played a lawyer secretly married to a member of a satanic cult. Through the course of the picture, he falls in love with the younger sister of his wife.

Hugh Beaumont is better known to most of us as the Beaver's father, from the TV series Leave it to Beaver.

The interesting twist, as I see it, is that the character from the film is named Gregory WARD while his TV character is named WARD Cleaver. Mere coincidence? I wonder.
