meanwhile it's Bergman who gives him the side-eye in Notorious.

right to select Mr. Skeffington as the perfect example of a terrible movie that needed his skill.

i've only seen 13 of his films, apparently, which ain't much. Need the two Bette Davis biggies.

Claude was extremely watchable. He could steal almost any scene when he wanted to.

Search: The Passionate Friends. In which he might be considered to be playing a variant of his Notorious role but with more fight in him. Directed by David Lean, with his wife at the time, Ann Todd, as the female lead and Trevor Howard as Claude's rival. So you can also think of it as a grittier Brief Encounter

Not sure there's ever been a less believable father-son duo than Rains and Lon Chaney Jr in The Wolfman

Peter Lorre and Jack Nicholson in The Raven?
Kael was right that Brando is doing Rains in Superman.
