Kiss of Death (1947) dir: Henry Hathaway is best remembered for the sequence where Richard Widmark kindly helps a lady in a wheelchair to get downstairs and earned himself an Oscar nomination in his first screen appearance.

Kiss of Death (1947) dir: Henry Hathaway is best remembered for the sequence where Richard Widmark kindly helps an old lady in a wheelchair to get downstairs. Quickly. That was the second one to come to my mind!

Wheelchair queen Eleanor Parker scored a hat trick
1) As singer Marjorie Lawrence in INTERRUPTED MELODY, crippled with polio 1955
2) as Sinatra's scheming and manipulative wife in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM 1955
3) As rich recluse in EYE OF THE CAT, with a terrifying scene where the electronic wheelchair fails and leaves her speeding downhill into San Francisco's heavy traffic 1969

Lionel Barrymore faced the end of his acting career by 1938 because of crippling arthritis and a twice broken hip. He was always in pain, could only walk on crutches, and had become addicted to morphine which he took for pain. Louis B. Meyer, not normally thought of as warm and fuzzy, instructed his writers who had worked on the Andy Hardy/Judge Hardy films to come up with a similar concept for Barrymore. This turned out to be “Dr. Kildare.” (I’m sure that profit was always in the front of Meyer’s mind, but still…) Meyer and MGM also sprang for the wheelchair that Barrymore used as Dr. Gillespie and in later films such as “Key Largo.” As one Barrymore biographer wrote about the Kildare/Gillespie series, “[Lionel] dominated with grumbling sarcasm, gnarled truths, and violent propulsions of the chair, which became the most formidable prop on the MGM lot.” (The House Of Barrymore by Margot Peters).  |

The Men (1950)  "To accustom himself to his role as a paraplegic, Brando remained in a wheelchair on and off the set for the duration of the shoot. He reluctantly made an exception to this "method" in order to attend a Hollywood party where he wanted to meet Charlie Chaplin. His date, Shelly Winters, through whom he had access to the party, insisted he come dressed nicely and sans wheelchair or not come at all." "This film features the first public games of the Paralyzed Veterans Association's water polo and wheelchair basketball team members. " Life Magazine photo  great thread idea bravomailer

Lionel Barrymore really was wheelchair-bound late in life, if I'm not mistaken.  |
