Burt Lancaster or Kirk Douglas?

and of course the classic Kirk Douglas "Lonely are the Brave" which he stated was the finest film he was even in and i agree. from the book by edward abbey "the lonely cowboy"

Aren't you forgetting the "Duke" and Jimmy Stewart? c.i.

Fonda, Heston, Stewart, Wayne, Lancaster, Douglas would be my first thoughts but, Im sure theres more, and they all have added to the subject in their own individual ways.

The Swimmer
I love it when I reluctantly decide to watch a movie only to find that it is great and unforgettable. The Swimmer was such a movie - apparently it was Lancaster's favorite movie of his career. It has shown on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) twice over the last few months. Catch it if you can.

Come to think of it, Paths of Glory was one of those movies too.

Kuvasz: You might enjoy seeing Douglas and Lancaster together in I Walk Alone, The Devils Disciple and Gunfight At the OK Corral. (I could never decide which one of them I liked better). And, please don't forget Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, William Holden, Edward G. Robinson, Gene Hackman and Jack Lemmon, to name just a few.

All of the actors mentioned were great. I have to add Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Gregory Peck.

I thought Burt and Kirk was one and the same. c.i.

Burt Lancaster gave one of filmdom's finest performances as Elmer Gantry. If you've never seen this film, do yourself a favor and rent it. I think you'll be amazed at the powerful, haunting performance given
by Lancaster.

Besides Lancaster, Gantry features an Oscar-winning supporting actress performance by Shirley Jones.

This picture deals with a theme that is just as topical today as when the film was released. A must see.

Lancaster deservedly won the Best Actor Academy Award in 1960 for his electrifying portrayal of Gantry. The movie is based on a novel by Sinclair Lewis.
