Best Scene: The opening scene.
4. Clark Gable in The Misfits- Gable gives a moving portrayal of a individualistic cowboy past his prime that is worthy of being his swan song.
Best Scene: Gay goes to recapture the horses.
3. Dirk Bogarde in Victim- Although I do wish the film let Borgarde explore his character a little more, Bogarde still gives a powerful portrayal of a repressed homosexual.
Best Scene: Melville Farr reveals the truth to his wife.
2. James Cagney in One, Two, Three- James Cagney gives a very entertaining and incredibly energetic performance that could not be a better fit for the screwball comedy he leads.
Best Scene: MacNamara tries to solve all his problems in a few hours.
1. Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo - Well I did not even need to have a second to think of my favorite performance by a leading actor from 1961. This is one of the very best performances from Toshiro Mifune creating one of the most memorable heroes in cinema.
Best Scene: The Final Duel.

Tatsuya Nakadai - Yojimbo
Takashi Shimura - Yojimbo
Eli Wallach - The Misfits
Rod Steiger - The Mark
Anthony Quinn - Guns of Navarone
Also
Burt Lancaster in Judgment at Nuremberg
I dont care that Rooney passed away, I think he is a shit actor and a complete twat as well and his performance in Breakfast At Tiffanys cemented that status
Burt Lancaster - Judgement At Nuremburg
Tatsuya Nakadai - Yojimbo
Eli Wallach - The Misfits
Lawrence Naismith - Greyfriars Bobby
Anthony Quinn - Guns Of Navarone
Burt Lancaster in Judgement At Nuremburg
Tatsuya Nakadai in Yojimbo
Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's (I too want to see this annihilated)
Eli Wallach in The Misfits
Anthony Quinn in Guns of Navarone
Maybe consider Russ Tamblyn in West Side Story - or maybe someone from Breakfast At Tiffany's?
What were your rating and thoughts on Mastroianni in La Notte? And I have no new suggestions for supporting.
Louis what are your thoughts on Goodbye Again and One Eyed Jacks?
Louis can you please review Karl Malden's performance from One Eyed Jacks for 62 supporting. His performance is similar to Hackman's in Unforgiven. Both characters are similar.
Michael: Mastroianni - 4(Often it seems like he is the ideal director's actor and that certainly is the case here. He does not stand out in the way he does in his best performance, that I have seen, Divorce Italian Style but he really fulfills his role completely and works in tandem with the direction of the film)
Anonymous:
Goodbye again is a perfectly fine film. The story is fine the acting is fine, the look of it is all fine. It does not really distinguish itself in anyway, but it's completely fine.
One Eyed Jacks is notable as Marlon Brando's only directorial effort but he's no Charles Laughton. Although I think would put him above Jack Nicholson. There is some intelligence behind the camera evident and Brando does bring a certain style to the proceedings. The story could be stronger though and its pace is far too ponderous.
For 1961 Supporting:
Burt Lancaster in Judgment at Nuremberg
Tatsuya Nakadai in Yojimbo
David Niven or Anthony Quinn in The Guns of Navarone
Max von Sydow in Through a Glass Darkly
Eli Wallach in The Misfits
Loredana Detto is an actress.
