Henry Fonda: Encyclopedia - Victor Mature

Victor Mature (born in Louisville, Kentucky; 29 January 1915–4 August 1999) was an Italian-American film actor. He is often described as an early examplar of the term beefcake due to his muscular physique and stolid onscreen manner. But unlike any of his contemporaries and his many successors, Mature always brought a sense of fragility, doubt and uncertainty to his characters. His Samson in Samson and Delilah is no doubt his best known role; not because of the beefcak ...

Henry Fonda: Encyclopedia - Warlock 1959 film

Warlock is a 1959 film, released by Twentieth Century Fox, shot in color and CinemaScope. It is a Western adapted from the novel by Oakley Hall (screenplay written by Robert Alan Aurthur). Somewhat surprisingly, it is not often mentioned as a classic of the genre, perhaps because the dark psychological moorings in the plot uncomfortably recall the witch-hunt hysteria of the Cold War era that had left a bitter imprint on Hollywood. Another reason for its neglect may well be the fact that its director, Edward Dmytryk, one of the ...
