...versatile leading man who began his career on screen in 1947, has died at age 93. Widmark disdained publicity and gave very few interviews over the decades.

By his own admission, he is not above ruthlessly killing women and children, or shooting a man in the back just to get ahead in life. He is a despicable creature, to be sure Yet, I am not sure whether Mangold is trying to say we should respect this...

...versatile Robert Wises direction interests me. The film was remade by Jan de Bont and, by all accounts, the original is far superior. Warner Bros. released a DVD in R1, but, obviously, Ive not seen it 3:30 AM The Walking Dead (Curtiz, 1936) - BW-66 mins. - Boris Karloff is framed for murder and executed, but doctors try to bring him back to...
