Posts from The Ringo Kid in thread „Richard Widmark“

Take the High Ground was on last night and I finally got to see it all the way through. Usually I never catch it from the beginning. Anyway, Widmark and Malden were great in it as ell as Russ Tamblyn.

Rest in Peace Mr. Widmark.

Im going to have a private marathon of his movies when I get The Bedford Incident in from DDDvD.

He sure was great in all the films I saw him in. I don't yet have Kiss of Death but look forward to getting it. Anyway, I plan on watching:

The Halls of Montazuma, The Bedford Incident, The Long Ships, The Frogmen, The Alamo, Alvarez Kelly (again) Judgement At Nuremberg and Madigan.

Hi Len, I have to agree with you that he was great in Alvarez Kelly. I don't have it on DvD yet but, sometime hopefully in the next few months I will ;-))

Hi Len, i'll have to watch my copy of a movie he was in which also had his Bio in it. I think it was an extra on the: Hell and High Water DvD. It's strange that you would mention that he was adopted? I don't recall that being told about on the DvD? If I get a chance soon to rewatch the DvD, ill post here what it said-if anything; about when he was born.

BY the way: Welcome to this fine site.

Hi Cole, I saw that movie when TCM showed it I think a few months ago. I thought it was an unusual one for the both of them to be in. However, I did like the movie.

Hi Mike, Cole,

Funny you should mention Charlton Heston as Jim Bowie. I had always thought of that role as tailor made for Charlton Heston and I had wished that he could have made a film with Duke. Heston is another favorite of mine.

Widmark with a toupee? I never heard that before. Added a new wrinkle to my brain though ;-))

Richard Widmark is yet another whose name was a household name in our house. To date I have seen only 24 of his films, and have enjoyed him in all of them. I sure hate to see such great actors age and retire.
