Such an amazing movie. A brilliant under the radar film he did was The Red House. A Delmer Daves film like 1940-whatever. There is a very weird continual subtext going down throughout the whole narrative. Strange and amazing film.
The Dean Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 He was a great actor, see? Never got his due, see? He got an Honorary Oscar. Charity, that's what I call it, see?
KD in CA Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse I think I saw a remake of this on Cinemax late one night.
Max Fischer Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 He made every move better. I think you meant "Double Indemnity" - one of my favorite movies/books and probably one his best acting jobs. Even in a supporting role his presence drives the movie's tension.
Chef Jim Posted February 6, 2010 Posted February 6, 2010 I think he kicked Bogart's ass in Key Largo.
