He was so evil in “Murder On The Orient Express” that you actually rooted for killers..RIP to a Hollywood giant
He was like Joseph Cotten, who also died last year. Could play any role, an incredible and believable range of characters (Cotten played a serial killer, a reporter in Citizen Kane who calls Hearst on the carpet and loses his job for it, and the “good guy” in the Third Man who ultimately helps get rid of the evil friend). Similarly, Widmark could play a leering lunatic (Tommy Udo), heroic battler (Bowie) and a righteous prosecuror (Judgment at Nuremberg).
Widmark is great as the villain and the others in the cast are a who's who of Hollywood at that time (1974).
