But I really loved Rod Steiger and never thought he got the credit he deserved.
Yep, that was a heck of a movie.

I'll never forget that scene in Pawnbroker where he impales his hand just to prove he can take any pain and keep going. As for Sidney Poitier, "Lilies of the Field" is also a favorite movie.

You can't beat that combo, my fave scene, I love how Stieger baits him into staying.
