Great Actor Widmark

Recently we lost a great actor, Richard Widmark, of such great movies as “The Street With No Name,” “Road House,” “Yellow Sky,” “Down to the Sea in Ships,” “Slattery’s Hurricane,” “Panic in the Streets,” “No Way Out,” “The Halls of Montezuma,” “The Frogmen,” “Red Skies of Montana,” “My Pal Gus” and the Samuel Fuller film noir “Pickup on South Street.”

Widmark always appeared so calm in front of the camera, so sure of himself as a bad guy.  No matter what role he took, it was superbly performed. The last movie I saw him in was “Against All Odds,”  a favorite film of mine that includes the late, great Jane Greer.

    “The Last Wagon” is a story with layers, which I love. You’ll find that plot in a lot of movies today, which is the bad guy is good.
