Richard made a real impact in the 50s with his suave look. He has this charismatic smile that garnered many female fans worldwide.

I never thought to pay attention to the actors' names when we saw those old movies. But I think, looking at the photo, that the villain in it, who embodied the whole grisly story, must have been Richard Widmark.

I'm curious what you mean by the doctor that you and Widmark were seeing being "an expert on facial shapes". How did Widmark utilize the doctor's expertise? What was the kind of treatment you got for your TMJ pain? Did it help? I have met too many dentists who like doing surgery because it's profitable, whether it's useful or not!

"Spine-chilling" indeed! In his noir roles, this guy was as scary as they come - yet he also came across as authentic in other roles as well, like the generals he tended to play late in his career. He was particularly good in Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) for example.

A long time ago, Manny and I saw "Pick Up on South Street," billed as a classic "noir" movie. I never thought to pay attention to the actors' names when we saw those old movies. But I think, looking at the photo, that the villain in it, who embodied the whole grisly story, must have been Richard Widmark. When he giggled, it was--no better way to describe this--"spine-chilling."

Who can ever forget the immortal words of Widmark's Tommy Udo:

"Ya know what I do to squealers? I let 'em have it in the belly, so they can roll around a long time, thinkin' it over."

Now that shit is noir, baby.
