I think that Robert Cummings is a vastly underrated actor. He not only is very good in those great 2 films you both mention, but also starred in some of the most noteworthy films of the 1940s: "
The Lost Moment" (1947) (an undiscovered gem), "
Saboteur" (1942) (an excellent Hitchcock), the mysterious Anthony Mann period film "
Reign of Terror" (1949), the interesting Sirk flick "
Sleep My Love" (1948), the completely entertaining "
Princess O'Rourke" (1943); he also starred in the most intriguing episode of Duvivier's "
Flesh and Fantasy" (1943) opposite Betty Field and was featured in the excellent all-star "
Forever and a Day" (1943). & I still have to see him in the highly praised "
The Chase" (1946).
I'm thinking that his image and talent might have been underrated and maligned, due to his later TV/film work during the 1950s or 1960s (just as Fred Mac Murray's was). Being a Chilean, I'm not familiar with his later TV work during those decades and the image he projected.
