Forgot this one.How about "The Big Heat" by Fritz Lang?
I just picked this one up on DVD too. Great performances by Glenn Ford, Lee Marvin and Gloria Grahame.
Especially Lee Marvin as the unpredictable lacky of the Crime Boss, Alexander Scourby. I love the scalding coffee scene with Grahame.
Another terrifying film to me was "Prime Cut" directed by Michael Ritchie, again with Marvin, with Gene Hackman as the Crime Boss named Mary Ann. An extremely chilling film!
Between this and a similar role in "Point Blank" and "The Killers" by Don Siegel, with Ronald Reagan as the gang boss, Lee Marvin had the characterization "down" by this time.
Never saw Big Heat or Prime Cut. But I'd like to. Where did you get the DVD's?I liked what I've seen of Marvin. Great villain.
