SUPPORTING ACTOR SUNDAY


ADAM WILLIAMS (1922-2006)
One of Hollywood's most memorable tough-guys. Before becoming an actor, he served with the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, flying transport missions in the China-Burma-India theater. He gave one of his finest performances in Fritz Lang's THE BIG HEAT, and appeared memorably in Alfred Hitchcock's NORTH BY NORTHWEST. Television audiences also remember him from THE TWLIGHT ZONE, where appeared in the haunting episode "The Hitch-Hiker." Though rarely cast in leading roles, Williams' intelligence and quiet menace made him one of the most distinctive character actors of the 1950s and 1960s. What do you remember his from?

THE RAVEN (1935)
One of the wildest and most perversely entertaining horror films of the 1930s. Bela Lugosi stars as a brilliant but sadistic surgeon obsessed with torture devices and Edgar Allan Poe's works, with Boris Karloff as the scarred criminal he blackmails into carrying out his murderous schemes. Lugosi gives one of his greatest performances, delighting in the character's madness with an intensity that's glorious to behold. The film's gruesome sa**sm helped provoke a backlash against horror movies, contributing to stricter censorship in both Britain and the United States and Universal's temporary retreat from the genre. Dark, bizarre, and unapologetically macabre, THE RAVEN remains one of the most unforgettable horror films of its era. Highly recommended.

THE SNIPER (1950)
Remarkably ahead of its time. THE SNIPER tells the story of a disturbed killer years before the term "serial killer" had even been coined. Directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Arthur Franz, the film follows a lonely, deeply troubled man whose inability to connect with women erupts into violence. Like DIRTY HARRY, it is set in San Francisco and centers on a rooftop sniper terrorizing the city, yet its perspective could not be more different. Rather than presenting its killer as a monster to be hunted, The Sniper treats him as a tragic figure failed by society and a mental health system that ignored his desperate pleas for help. Intelligent, compassionate, and unsettling, it remains one of the most thoughtful and psychologically complex crime films of the 1950s

FILM FREAK FRIDAY


THE SIN OF NORA MORAN (1933)
One of the most daring and visually inventive melodramas of the pre-Code era. Directed by Phil Goldstone, it tells the tragic story of a woman who sacrifices everything to protect the man she loves, unfolding through an audacious series of flashbacks, dreams, and memories that feel startlingly modern. Zita Johann gives a deeply affecting performance in the title role, while the film's frank treatment of sexuality, corruption, and capital punishment pushes well beyond what would soon be permitted under the Production Code. Long overlooked, The Sin of Nora Moran is now recognized as one of the most striking and emotionally powerful hidden gems of 1930s American cinema.

Tonight on TCM
THE MEN (1950)

This film marked Marlon Brando's film debut, and he immediately announced himself as a major new acting talent. Directed by Fred Zinnemann from a screenplay by Carl Foreman, the film tells the story of a war veteran paralyzed in combat as he struggles to rebuild his life after returning home. Brando spent weeks living in a veterans' hospital, studying the experiences of paraplegic patients to prepare for the role, and his naturalistic performance helped introduce Method acting to mainstream American cinema. Compassionate, unsentimental, and decades ahead of its time in its portrayal of disability and rehabilitation, THE MEN remains a powerful and moving drama. Recommended
