I think that Frank Sinatra made a film at about the same time called "The Detective", which I remember with similar affection.

I'm NOT! ;)

Actually I think Kirk Douglas is still around he's probably one of the last of an epic age of acting instead of action and sex like todays movies.

Is Gregory Peck still alive? That's who I'm named after, my mother and her crush on him.

The action and his portrayal really freaked out the audience. I personally prefer Cagney's Cody Jarret, but to each their own.
