I don't know, rraine. If Borgnine hadn't done MARTY, he might just be seen today as a one-note actor.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-42885489366065039512012-07-10T07:01:19.649-07:002012-07-10T07:01:19.649-07:00Like Borgnine, Robinson was a tough guy actor who,...Like Borgnine, Robinson was a tough guy actor who, when given the chance, could play more gentle roles. If you haven't already, Mike, check out Robinson in OUR GRAPES HAVE TENDER VINES.<br /><br />Lancaster produced MARTY. One of these days, maybe soon, I'm going to show the trailer to that movie. It says a lot about what Hollywood feels it needs to do to sell a film.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-27171484359731600412012-07-10T06:46:42.300-07:002012-07-10T06:46:42.300-07:00Such range.

In the clip from "From Here to Eternity", the tension produced just by Fatso showing up then building through the seen as Lancaster stepped in. Wow! good stuff.
