Although Ford's comedic talents are not always fully appreciated, I have to lean on the side of his dramatic roles -- in which he excelled. He was fortunate to work twice with Fritz Lang, who liked him. BLACKBOARD, TRIAL and RANSOM! -- all released in the mid-1950s within months of each other, solidly placed him near the top tier of dramatic actors. And at the same time he was also scoring in comedy roles (TEAHOUSE) and Westerns (JUBAL).
