    Disagree. Ryan's range from absolute despair to hope is something no other actor could have surpassed; the performance IS the movie.

    Agree and disagree. The performance is fantastic, but the cinematography and direction are also fantastic. Take, for example, the scene where the cop car swings around to chase the running man fitting the description of a bank robber. Incredible, and Ryan is basically just a bystander for much of
    it. Even the parts I didnt like looked pretty incredible. There is a lot more (and a lot less) than Ryan to this film.


    Again, you've discussed a movie with a great Bernard Herrmann music
    score and not even thought to mention it. What, did you have the sound
    off while you were watching it?

    That Bernard Hermann score nearly blew Robert Ryan off the cliff . . .
