IMO, Victor Mature was excellent in "Sampson and Delilah" and "My Darling Clementine" as well as "Demetrius &nd the Gladiators". Though he is not a favorite actor of mine by any means, I always thought his performances fit the bill.

Ha I don't like Victor Mature either.
Vincent Price said he was the biggest coward-he refused to do any of his own fights no matter how small.
Another Widmark film I watch now and then, THE LONG SHIPS.

Richard Widmark was born on The Second Day of Christmas in 1914, the last kid in a long line of kids in an Italian family, but the nice Widmark family, who were neighbours, adobted him, thus he got a Swedish-American upbringinging, and his blondish hair made him fit in. More than thirty years later he would become famous for throwing a wheelchair bound woman down the stairs. A man whose smile you could never trust.  Richard Widmark 1914 - 2009
Widmark appeared on Broadway in 1943 in F. Hugh Herbert's Kiss and Tell and in William Saroyan's Get Away Old Man, directed by George Abbott, which ran for 13 performances. He was unable to join the military during World War II because of a perforated eardrum. He was in Chicago appearing in a stage production of Dream Girl with June Havoc when 20th Century Fox signed him to a seven-year contract. Here follow examples:  Kiss of Death 1947, earning his only Oscar nomination, as Tommy Udo  The Street with No Name 1948  Road House 1948  Night and the City 1950  Panic in the Streets 1950  No Way Out 1950  Halls of Montezuma 1951  Pickup on South Street 1953  Hell and High Water 1954  Broken Lance 1954  Mystery Guest on What's My Line? 1954  The Tunnel of Love 1958  The Alamo 1960  Cheyenne Autumn 1964  The Bedford Incident 1965  Madigan 1968  Coma 1978  Against All Odds 1984  True Colours 1991, became his screen farewell. ...and many more!  Thanks for watching! Madigan felt like it was ahead of itself a 1970'esque movie set within a 1960s world basically.
