This movie is one of them; it was on TCM a month ago and I recorded it. Another was A Dispatch from Reuters, a biopic about the founder of the Reuters news service.
One of these counter-character movies that I liked was Brother Orchid, possibly the movie that Robinson made to break the stereotype that let him make more diverse films.

The following films ( not including the one in this thread, nor THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and SOYLENT GREEN ) wherein he plays completely different types of roles are: 1) THE RED HOUSE 2)OUR VINES HAVE TENDER GRAPES 3) DE. ERLICH'S MAGIC BULLET 4) THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW; all really good films!
I loved him in A Slight Case of Murder, where he played a comic version of his gangster persona.
