Richard Widmark: Oklahoma City
built 632 days ago
The titular character was played by Academy Award nominated actor Richard Widmark who first entered show business in 1943 after a perforated eardrum stopped him from joining the military. In 1950 and 1952 Widmark starred in 'Panic In The Streets' and 'Night and the City', respectively - each considered classic examples of film noir.

NIGHT AND THE CITY is built round the dynamic febrile performance of Richard Widmark as the constantly scheming, ever-overreaching Harry. Herbert Lom is brilliant as the Greek who ruthlessly controls wrestling in London. Francis L. Sullivan, huge and slow moving, exudes menace as nightclub owner Phil Nosseross. And Googie Withers is very striking as Nosseross's smart but desperate wife.
