Question: I’ve been trying to catch up on movies and I recently read David Gilmour’s “The Film Club.” Do you think the films Gilmour discusses in the book are a good place to start?
Answer: Absolutely. Gilmour’s list is good because it is well rounded. It includes not only American classics but a number of foreign movies, which are required viewing for anyone who wants to be truly film literate.

Question: In a recent column about Richard Widmark, you mentioned his 1950 movie “No Way Out.” Isn’t that the same title of a film with Kevin Costner? Do they have the same story?
Answer: “No Way Out” is the title of both a 1950 Widmark drama directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and a 1987 Kevin Costner drama directed by Roger Donaldson. They are not, however, related.

Question: I watched the Emmys, and Richard Widmark’s name appeared under those who passed away. When did he die? I didn’t see any mention of it in the paper or on Turner Classic Movies. He was the last of his kind and one of my favorite actors.
Answer: You’ll get no arguments from me about Widmark’s contributions to cinema. Few actors have built a career as lengthy and impressive as his.
