Jim Emerson has collated an Richard Widmark, who appeared in 70+ films including Saint Joan, Panic in the Streets and No Way Out, has died at the age of 93. Widmark began his career in the 40s, often playing vicious villains and anti-heroes. In the mid-50s, he started a production company, through which he made a number of Cold War-era social dramas including Time Limit and The Bedford Incident. My favorite Widmark film is probably Sam Fuller’s Pickup on South Street; I’ve embedded a typically, casually violent clip from that film above. The New York Times‘ obit lives here.
