“I remember the first time I saw this movie- almost twenty years ago on AMC. Charles McGraw BLEW me away!!! He has been my favorite actor EVER SINCE!! He steals this movie from Michael Ou0026#39;Shea and with his steel blue eyes totally captivates every scene he is in. McGraw clearly IS the movie and in every scene demonstrates why he was and is considered to be one of the movies best villains. McGrawu0026#39;s u0026quot;techniqueu0026quot; lets us know that he was an actor to be reckoned with and that he was going to be around for a long time, which he was- another forty years as one of our better character actors who was given the lead in a few u0026quot;Bu0026quot; movies and provided support in many u0026quot;Au0026quot; and u0026quot;Bu0026quot; movies. To say nothing of the numerous television appearances he made. I can not envision too many actors taking this role and fully making it his own the way Mr.McGraw did. Even though his u0026quot;looku0026quot; left him for the most part typecast, he was one of our best character actors and u0026quot;The Threatu0026quot; bears the proof. Once you hear that voice, see those eyes and watch him do his stuff you canu0026#39;t take your eyes off him!! A Wonderful and Compelling Actor. Signed Mercedyz”
