BURT LANCASTER?
BURT LANCASTER (1913-1994), born Burton Stephen Lancaster, was the lead actor from the late 1940s until his death in 1994.
Haven't you seen The Killers (1946)? Lancaster's primary role as Ole 'Swede' Andreson brought him to the attention of a wide audience. Stardom was just around the corner.
Watch this and then see these other four films.
The Crimson Pirate (1952) Lancaster had been a circus acrobat and he used his skills in this enjoyable swashbuckler.
Trapeze (1956) Lancaster costars with Tony Curtis in this drama set in the world of the circus aerialists.
Gunfight At The OK Corral (1957) Burt is Wyatt Earp in the John Sturges classic.
Elmer Gantry (1960) Lancaster won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as the fake evangelist. A powerful film.

He had quite a big role in The Killers. Also see Birdman of Alcatraz, From Here to Eternity, Seven Days in May, The Leopard, and Atlantic City. They are some of his best films.
