All About Eve is justifiably considered his best film but my favorites are A Letter to Three Wives & No Way Out which gave Linda Darnell the best roles of her career.

unlabelledView post →My ★★★★ review of No Way Out boxd.it/8OcVB7 Film noir from 1950 sadly emblematic of 2025 America. Incredibly insightful & perhaps most explicit examination of racism from that era. Sidney Poitier is great in debut, but Richard Widmark steals every scene as evil incarnate. #filmsky 📽🎥🎞🎬

unlabelledView post →Having a little Richard Widmark film festival and just finished Mankiewicz's NO WAY OUT, which really taps into the self-pitying rage of white supremacy. Poitier (at just 22) arrives with huge screen presence, and Widmark never telegraphs that he's a real-life decent person playing a slimeball rat.

unlabelledView post →I was thinking this tonight—that what he does in this movie is one of my favorite screen performances ever, but that I don't know if I even have a second-favorite movie of his. No Way Out, possibly? It's just (for me!) a ridiculously steep drop-off from Bull Durham to everything else he's ever done.
unlabelledView post →I must admit I have only liked Costner in a few of his roles, and he seems in general to be overrated. In addition to working with Gene Hackman in “No Way Out,” he also had the incredible good fortune to work with James Earl Jones, Burt Lancaster, and Amy Madigan, all in just one movie.
