That he did subtle good work is even better. It's too bad that his career ambled to B stuff after "The Mark", but how happy that he was 92 and much loved when he did cross over.

It went to Maria Schell's brother, Maximillian for his role in "Judgement in Nuremberg". Whitman was a particularly fine actor in his early films and TV series "Cimarron Strip". Early on he starred with the likes of Ethel Barrymore, Joanne Woodward, Yul Brynner, Gary Cooper, Roddy McDowell, Lauren Hutton, John Wayne, etc. It seems his career waned after 1970, and he secured roles mostly on television series, and B movies.<br /><br />The copy of "The Mark" I tracked down has a feature with commentary by both the director, Guy Green and one with Whitman (he was 70 when he did the commentary on the film). After watching the film, I watched it again with Whitman's commentary. Great stories about the making of the movie as well as his life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-53175532911743021072011-03-22T13:27:41.301-04:002011-03-22T13:27:41.301-04:00It sounds great!
