William "Sandy" Smillie

I’ve seen A Streetcar Named Desire, The Godfather, and On The Waterfront, as well as some of the crap he put out later in life (I’m looking at you, The Island of Dr. Moreau.) I sincerely believe that his work in The Young Lions is better than all of them. Not only does he blow Dean Martin (arguably the era’s king of charisma) off the fucking charm map whenever he’s in frame, he makes you forget that Montgomery Clift is even in the movie. He’s that good. That subtle. That impossible to not watch.
