One of my favorites: Out of the Past, I Walk Alone, Champion, Ace in the Hole, Detective Story, The Big Sky, The Bad and the Beautiful, Lust for Life, Gunfight at the OK Corral, Paths of Glory, The Last Train from Gun Hill, Spartacus, Lonely are the Brave, Seven Days in May, In Harm's Way, There Was a Crooked Man, Amos. He might have made as many really good films as any other actor. His run in the early fifties was amazing. He owned the rights to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest for years but couldn't get the financing, (Amos is his version of it in a retirement home instead of a mental institution.) And he, with Otto Preminger, kicked the door down on the blacklist with Spartacus.

He lived 103 years, surviving a helicopter crash and a stroke. he didn't get cheated.
