RIP Richard Widmark - notable war film:I'm embarrassed to say I never heard of 'The Bedford Incident.' The reviews at Amazon are quite positive. ...
I always liked Richard Widmark as an actor. Always a crusty approach to all his roles and even when playing a good guy, you were never sure how "good" he was supposed to be.
A case in point, an excellent Cold War film he was in that's worth seeing if it ever shows up: The Bedford Incident with Sidney Poitier. A little preachy, but a good drama/suspense military thriller about a North Atlantic hunt for a Soviet submarine.
