The most complete film actor of all-time

Paul Muni was quite simply the inventor of the art of "film acting". He had enough screen presence to carry any type of lead role and was the greatest character actor of all. Muni influenced countless future film stars including Brando. He had at least six great screen performances and his best was perhaps in "I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang" released the same year as this one. His best film was "The Good Earth" among many others in addition to this one: "Black Fury", "The Life of Emile Zola", "The Story of Louis Pasteur", "Juarez", "The World Changes" and "The Last Angry Man". He didn't make many films but the ones he did make were almost always outstanding and this one and those listed here are all "must sees" for film buffs.
