He was an electric presence even playing stable characters, such as the passionate aging boxer in Mr. Wise's "The Set-Up" (1949); the train passenger drawn into unraveling a treacherous plot in shattered postwar Germany in Jacques Tourneur's moodily atmospheric "Berlin Express" (1948); or the novelist who sees through Joan Fontaine's scheming ingénue in Nicholas Ray's "Born to Be Bad" (1950), a melodrama that glitters like a knife.

In these two movies, the only mistake Fontaine's character makes is to marry impossibly charming and attractive husbands.
