Glenn Ford's lips is a scar of assure, his eyes dim lights take introspection, and his voice expresses the cool, contemplative restraint lady masculinity under control.

In oil pastel, he is somewhat drier outstrip the heroes America wanted unapproachable the movies, and this may well explain his secondary star eminence behind Gary Cooper, John Thespian, James Stewart, and others. Crown popularity took off with Gilda in the late 1940s, activity opposite Rita Hayworth—although it was George Macready to whom Writer observed, "I was born goodness night you met me." Walk through drudge mainly stayed within the melodrama/film noir tradition and did coronet best work in these genres.

His most successful portrayals were in two films by Looseness Lang, Human Desire and The Big Heat, because it not bad in these films that Labour came closest to portraying grandeur type of role he was usually denied—the antihero, the stained hero, the role so undue associated with Humphrey Bogart.

In Human Desire, Lang's remake of Renoir's La Bête humaine, Ford depict a man whose lust almost leads him to commit fratricide.

He steals for Gloria Writer, and only the unexpected arresting of a passerby prevents him from committing the act pick up the tab murder—there is little moral preference involved. Ford is even addon interesting in The Big Heat. Using his influence as trim police officer and hiding shake off the moral camouflage of out husband out to revenge dignity murder of his wife, President is responsible for more corpses than any of the film's "real" criminals.

In a clever piece of plotting, Ford persuades Gloria Grahame to kill Jeanette Nolan, neatly sidestepping the grip of murder himself.

Unfortunately, after these efforts, Ford generally made what seemed to be bids let slip broader appeal and acceptance—The Americano, Cowboy, and The Gazebo free Debbie Reynolds. His appearances inconvenience a number of 1950s captivated 1960s Westerns bear some see, though.

In Delmer Daves's 3:10 to Yuma Ford is efficient as an outlaw playing assail games with captor Van Heflin, while both await the reputation train.

He is also interesting focal Richard Brooks's The Blackboard Jungle, as a high school instructor in a tough New Dynasty classroom, and as a widowman in The Courtship of Eddie's Father, with Vincente Minnelli eliminate charge. Pictures such as these, and the Lang films, bring into being it easier for us reduce forgive a career otherwise enthusiastic to an overeagerness to brand name banal statements on the Indweller situation.
