One of my all time favorites is Lonely Are the Brave (1962). Many, including myself, consider it also to be one of his best.

I also remember really liking The Vikings (1958 ) when I was young. I don't know where it stands, however, as far as critical acclaim. I've never had an opportunity to rewatch it.

Just looked up his filmography
It's pretty amazing that his first movie role was way back in 1946...quite a career!

is the one he did with rita hayworth any good?

reply

His female co-stars in those films were Jane Greer, Marilyn Maxwell, Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, Lana Turner, Janet Leigh, Jean Simmons, Gena Rowlands and Ava Gardner. He didn't do a film with Rita, although she was one of his conquests off screen.
