Earlier this week I watched The Bedford Incident for the first time. It’s a fantastic cold war suspense movie starring Richard Widmark. And I got to thinking, has Widmark died? So I Googled him and it turns out he has indeed died. Just over a week ago. And as far as I can tell, virtually [...]
Watching the early scenes of Yellow Sky you can see why cinematographer Joe MacDonald has such a reputation. These luminous black-and-white images are exquisitely beautiful as they follow the small-town robbery carried out by Gregory Peck’s vicious band of bandits (sidekick Richard Widmark is at his cruel and callous late-forties best), the escape across the desert (which puts Ford's equivalent scenes...
It's impossible to imagine ... a movie like Pick-Up on South Street (which Sam Fuller made in 1953 with Richard Widmark) being made as an A picture by any of the studios. It is simply too subversive. The sentiments of the pickpoket 'hero'--cynical, brutal, anti-patriotic, misogynist--seem more in line with the 70s, and the movie is so much fresher and more alive than most of the 'classics' from this...
What a pleasure to see this great film projected in glorious 35mm B&W! One of the most beautiful noirs of all time splashed across the silver screen, Richard Widmark running like a cornered rat in a checkered suit through the alleys and back streets, under the bridges, along the waterfront, through the dives, the clip [...]
(oh were we??) - The wonderful Kim Morgan has a piece up about Don't Bother to Knock - with Marilyn Monroe and Richard Widmark (rest in peace) - I remember Alex telling me I HAD to see this movie -...
With Richard Widmark on the brain, I'm re-running my piece on "Don't Bother to Knock," a movie that not only boasts one of Marilyn Monroe's greatest performances, but a wonderfully nuanced turn by Widmark as well. Oh Marilyn. I know,...
While the pundits celebrated Charlton Heston's life they sort of forgot about another well known actor by the name of Richard Widmark. Mr. Widmark passed away March 24 at the ripe old age of 92. I first heard of Widmark...

We’re barely into spring and 2008 has already proved to be a difficult year for the hierarchy of Old Hollywood. We commented earlier on the loss of a trinity of film noir heroes (Malvin Wald, Richard Widmark and Jules Dassin). Now comes news that actor and controversial NRA president Charlton Heston has passed at 84. As [...]
Today I've heard that Charlton Heston has died… Not a good day for me. After losing Richard Widmark (on March 24, 2008) and Heath Ledger (January 22, 2008), it seems like 2008 is already off to a bad start in terms of obits, taking away from us some of the best actors that ever lived. The Oscar-winner [...]
I have to share with you this wonderful piece in Variety.com about the late Richard Widmark by the great screenwriter William Goldman. Enjoy it! I sure did. Widmark Impression
Film News: William Goldman remembers the acting icon -- I only met Richard Widmark once, and briefly, a third of a century ago, but I'm not going to forget him.
Just this once, I'm going to bite (more like nip) the hand that publishes me, or more accurately, the fingers of those who contribute its content.
