Richard Widmark was always one of my favorites because like James Cagney he could do both good guys and bad guys equally well. The Kiss of Death from 1947, his first movie, got him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination as the giggling killer, Tommy Udo. This is the scene that made him famous.
"...giggling killer, Tommy Udo. This is the scene that made him famous".
I heard on NPR while this made him famous it was a type cast character Richard found hard to disassociate from, much to his regret. Wonder how long it will take before people forget Jake Gyllenhaal played a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain?
