Essential Richard Widmark

"Kiss of Death," "Panic in the Streets," and "Pickup on South Street" are some of our favorites

The last of the great noir actors, Widmark, 93, died on March 24. Pay tribute with his top thrillers.

KISS OF DEATH (1947)
Making his film debut, he got an Oscar nod as psycho villain Tommy Udo.

PANIC IN THE STREETS (1950)
Intense heat. Pneumonic plague. Jack Palance. Widmark battles 'em all.

PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (1953)
He's a hard-boiled thief who goes soft for a call girl in Sam Fuller's gem.
