He was signed by agent Henry Willson and put under contract with 20th Century-Fox, where he gained attention with a small but showy part as a shell-shocked soldier in ''With a Song in My Heart'' (1952). This led to starring roles in a series of films, including: with veteran actor Clifton Webb, ''Stars and Stripes Forever'' (1952) and ''Titanic'' (1953), ''Beneath the 12-Mile Reef'' (1953), ''Prince Valiant'' (1954), and ''White Feather'' (1955, with Debra Paget and Jeffrey Hunter).

In 1960 Wagner signed with Columbia Pictures for three films, but only two were made; ''Sail a Crooked Ship'' (1961) with Ernie Kovacs and ''The War Lover'' (1962), opposite Steve McQueen, which was filmed in England. Roles soon followed in continental Europe such as ''The Condemned of Altona'' (1962), ''The Longest Day'' (1962) and ''The Pink Panther'' (1963) starring David Niven and Peter Sellers for Blake Edwards. Edwards wanted Wagner for the lead in ''The Great Race'' (1965) but Jack L. Warner overruled him.〔p. 249 Curtis, Tony & Golenbock, Peter ''American Prince: My Autobiography'' Random House, 30 Mar 2010〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Wagner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
