One of the Greatest Actors of All Time!!

@PeterSmith-go9ef 5 месяцев назад

A revealing portrait of a flawed man, Steiger peals away the layers of aggression, attitude, and prejudice, to reveal a vulnerable, lonely, and essentially decent man. The scene in his home with Tibbs, improvised by Poitier and Steiger, is my favourite in the film. Great pairing.

Steiger was one of the greatest actors of th 20th century. It's no accident that he was in so many great films. They were great because he made them great

This is one of the best movies of my life time.

One of my all time favorite movies. Every moment of this picture is a Great Work of Art. Including the cinematography, along with the obvious - script, directing, All the actors, regardless of how small the role. There’s a tremendous intimacy, and respect between Gillespie and Tibbs. One of the most powerful scenes for me, is when Gillespie and Tibbs are about to get in the car after Tibbs interview’s the plantation owner, and he says, “I know I can bring that fat cat down!”, and Gillespie immediately says, “ You’re just like the rest of us, ain’t you!”. Gillespie didn’t have a quarter of Tibbs experience or knowledge, but he was an authentic person, who could recognize the Truth (and consequently bs). Humanity is the winner of this extraordinary work of Art.

Underrated scene was done by the pregnant girl when she was interviewed by Steiger in his office. A real barn-burner of a scene. Typified the young southern woman and her southern drawl so well.

Steiger was one of the great actors of his era.

For myself, the greatest!!

great actors so real

@ibleebinU Год назад

I'm always mesmerized by Rod's acting in this film. I am convinced that he is Chief Gillespie. Sidney's emotions are equally as real, drawing from his personal past. Great script and improv as well. A movie that deserves revisiting every few years.

@voraciousreader3341 Год назад

You’re making a gross generalization here in which you state your belief that Steiger was a racist, overweight, small minded sh*t who is forced to look at the politics of the South differently, and that’s all he was….how insulting! I don’t feel he was Gillespie, any more than he was Judd Frye in “Oklahoma” or Victor Komarovsky in “Doctor Zhivago” (have you SEEN that performance, where Steiger plays a cultured, very perceptive, and intellectual man, and the only American in that whole cast) or any of the other roles he played. *He’s so good that you haven’t even realized you’re connecting with the **_character_** and not the **_actor_** simply because Steiger and Poitier were such incredible actors!* It’s a psychological transference which happens in real life, but also with actors and characters in films. _PLEASE_ don’t minimize Rod Steiger as a human being in this way! He was so very much more than a character in any of the films he was in.

@@voraciousreader3341 No, I'm making a personal critism on Mr. Steiger's acting character. Not the person he is in life. Try to keep up Skippy.

Great edit!

14:14 "You can't act, and be a politician at the same time." Some actors seem to have forgotten that.

@appledoreman Год назад

It would have been a great gesture for race relations if Sidney Poitier had shared the 'best actor' Oscar award with Rod Steiger for this movie, as, in my opinion, he matched the latter in every department. Of course, it was never likely to happen, in those days & in that place - Hollywood - especially!

@jadezee6316 Год назад

in this movie...Steiger plays a sheriff in a racist environment...but he wants more than anything to be thought of a good cop...able to keep the peace and solve crimes...that is why he had initial disagreements with Poitier's character...who knew how to solve murders....they bonded over that and you saw the racism disappear......till Stegier was carrying Poiters bag to the train....they departed friends

@castelodeossos3947 Год назад

'So you've gotta stand up when he comes in the room.' Beautiful. 'You can't act and be a politician at the same time.' Those were the days.

@voraciousreader3341 Год назад

Your last comment just goes to show that you don’t know anything about the period in which Steiger worked, nor about the history of the film industry in which many actors held strong political beliefs, nor about the McCarthy era, in which our government made people on the film industry out to be political figures. Not only that, but _you didn’t understand that Steiger was talking about when an actor was acting, not his/her behavior as US citizens who get to have political ideas!_ Before you want to make a flip generalization, you should do a little background work to make sure you know what you’re talking about, and that you’ve fully understood what the person you’re referencing was saying. .

@@voraciousreader3341 Thank you for the lecture. Am always impressed by how so many RU-vid-commentators possess supernatural omniscience by which they may know not only how stupid and ignorant a fellow commentator is, but even that commentator's habits and person, based on a comment of four words. My meaning was that in those days, the politics were not expressed blatantly on the screen as they are today, and I believe that is what Mr Steiger also meant.

@JGldmn333 Год назад

Yeah he said that but then he says " we shall overcome" regarding race relations so actions speak louder than words lol. Love Rod Steiger for his ACTING. Can do without his politics.

@jamescampbell6737 Год назад
