built 632 days ago
Widmark was married to his first wife, Jean Hazlewood, a writer, for almost 55 years, from April 5, 1942 until her death on March 2, 1997. Their daughter, Anne Heath Widmark, an artist and author, married baseball legend Sandy Koufax on January 1, 1969 (but divorced in 1982). In September 1999, Widmark married Susan Blanchard, who earlier was Henry Fonda's third wife. Now retired, Widmark resides in Roxbury, Connecticut, where he has lived since the 1950s.

A rousing high–seas adventure yarn, with Widmark as a newfangled, academy-trained seaman at odds with old salt Lionel Barrymore, on board a 19th century whaling ship; as the two men square off, Barrymore’s grandson (Dean Stockwell) gets a sentimental education. The conflict between the characters is perfectly mirrored by the conflict in the styles of acting: the flamboyant Barrymore, with his always mobile eyebrows and sermonizing voice, and the more modern Widmark, with his sleek good looks, steady gaze and wonderfully flat midwestern delivery. Lovingly directed by Henry Hathaway, with a great roster of character actors as the crew, including Gene Lockhart, Harry Morgan, Jay C. Flippen and Fuzzy Knight.

When Widmark's brother Billy gets gunned down by Fonda during, the inevitable showdown between the San Pablo group and Widmark, Fonda and Quinn plays out. The ethical Widmark wants to handle the whole issue without Fonda's intervention, but will Fonda's ego, egged on by Quinn be able to withstand Widmark's request to stand down.
