I really liked the sneering laughter and cold anger he could bring to his more villainous parts and naturally he wasn't anything like that in the real world. In "Kiss of Death".....the old lady in the wheelchair.....remember the scene? Now that was cold, as cold a character that has ever been portrayed! Always strikes me as funny how many great actors with bad guy careers (or at least a portion of it) are in fact caring and gentle human beings. His career was so varied that you can pick almost any type of flick and he did it. His cynical cop portrayals were something new and I think Clint Eastwood owes both Widmark and Bogey a debt of gratitude.

I guess I enjoyed his westerns the best and always watch "Two Rode Together" with Jimmy Stewart every time I see it is on. Lots of today's actors could take a lesson from his career.
