Richard Widmark, who played heavies and hustlers in a million incredible old noir movies, died Monday at the unlikely age of 93. To film dorks he'll always be remembered as the insane Tommy Udo, villain in the 1947 classic Kiss of Death. The star-making scene where he gigglingly pushes a wheelchair-bound old lady down a flight of stairs is embedded below.
(Courtesy Jim Behrle, who notes that the lady in the wheelchair is probably also dead.)
