Try THE HARDER THEY FALL with Humphrey Bogart (his last film) and Steiger as a crooked boxing promoter. Steiger is excellant. (As he was in Pawnbroker and On The Waterfront and Zhivago. I think In The Heat Of The Night's sheriff role ruined him because he played most subsequent roles as the same southern cop, especially noticeable in his Napoleon in WATERLOO.)

My favorite Steiger performance is as Stanley Hoff, the loathsome studio boss who drives Jack Palance to suicide in THE BIG KNIFE.
