Mitchum playing opposite Peck in the role De Niro reprised in Cape Fear. I think it was Cape Wrath. Similarly his role as The Preacher in Night Of the Hunter.

By:
I think the original was called Cape Fear, too, EO.

By:
I bow to your almost certain clearer and less drink addled mind at this late stage Poker although Cape Wrath with all its connotations would have made a fine title.

There's a good subject for a new thread, EO!

Mitchum. The original Hollywood hell raiser. I remember reading his autobiography and what a life. One of the stunt doubles was once quoted as saying that in all of Hollywood in that golden age of screen tough guys there were only three of them who could do it in real life and go toe to toe with anybody and they were Mitchum, Palance and Ryan. According to him Mitchum would win hands down. He told a tale where him and Palance were shooting a movie and whilst they were pretty pally, Palance just needed to know and so in a fight scene he slugged Mitchum for real only for Mitchum to smash him in the guts causing Palance to vomit onto Mitchum.

Chistoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds.
Though you could argue that he's actually the star, Brad Pitt notwithstanding. Otherwise Penelope Cruz in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Maybe David Strathairn in Good Night, and Good Luck. |

By:
Also Brendan Fraser in The Quiet American. It's actually the title role, but not the lead role, which is taken by Michael Caine. I think that this film is underrated, and I can't put my finger on whether I've got it really wrong, or I'm just transferring my love for the book.

26 Jun 15 20:29 What? What? What? It's a bold sinful man you are Slippy Blue. And who taught you to be laying patty fingers in the holy waters? Homeric. Michaleen Oge Flynn isn't just the daddy. He's the daddy's daddy. And you from the old country He was my second choice. A great film, I never tire of watching it. For those who don't know (heathens that ye are) it's 'The Quiet Man' If you haven't seen it, you must have a look in before you die. Obviously not everybody's cup of Rosie, but if you watch it once all the way through, I guarantee you'll want to watch it again. And if you don't, your name will go in the book, and EO will put a line through it.  That'll learn ya. |

Alan Ford's portrayal of Bricktop in Snatch utters one of my favourite quotes:-
'Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent, personified in this case by an 'orrible kant... me.' Closely followed by Christopher Walken as Captain Koons in Pulp Fiction:- 'The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright, so he hid it, in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.' |

Some great calls already - but here's one that hasn't been mentioned: Walter Brennan - for loads of roles in old Westerns.
If you can't place him, this photo might jig your memory: http://schmoesknow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Walter-Brennan.jpg |
