- Burt Lancaster .
- Burt was one of five children born to a New York City Postal Worker. ... His production company, Hecht-Hill-Lancaster produced the such films as Paddy Chayefsky's Marty (Oscar winner 1955) and The Catered Affair (1956). ...
- ) In a postwar era that considered movie swashbuckling passé, Burt Lancaster kept the torch burningeven though he was equally at home in Westerns, crime thrillers, comedies, and serious drama-and approached his costume actioners with the nimble athleticism and Fairbanksian flamboyance of a born acrobat. ... Though he initially professed disdain for acting, Lancaster tried out for and landed a part in a Broadway play; it was a failure, but he got good notices personally and landed an agent, Harold Hecht, who brought him to the attention of movie producer Mark Hellinger. Cast as the mysterious "Swede" in The Killers (1946), Lancaster was an instant success, and the next year starred or costarred in Desert Fury, Brute Force and I Walk Alone (the latter his first with longtime pal Kirk Douglas).
- Lancaster turned to drama with All My Sons (1948), and more than held his own with veteran movie star Edward G. ... The thrillers Sorry, Wrong Number, Kiss the Blood Off My Hands (both 1948), Criss Cross and Rope of Sand (both 1949) all solidified his reputation as a grim, two-fisted lead in crime stories, but rather than risk further typecasting Lancaster produced and starred in The Flame and the Arrow (1950), a rousing swashbuckler that reunited him with old pal Cravat (playing his mute sidekick) and dazzled audiences with the star's athletic ability. The Crimson Pirate (1952) also saw Lancaster and Cravat performing amazing feats of derring-do, and was even more successful at the box office. Mister 880 (1950), Jim Thorpe, All-American (in which he was miscast as the Native American champion athlete), and Ten Tall Men (both 1951) found Lancaster running in place, but he took major strides forward with solid dramatic roles in Come Back, Little Sheba (1952, as a drunken, brooding ex-doctor) and From Here to Eternity (1953, playing a tough Army sergeant in pre-WW2 Pearl Harbor, sharing an iconographic beachside love scene with Deborah Kerr). An Oscar nomination for the latter performance lent additional prestige to Lancaster's career, and he and agent Hecht formed their own production company to develop star vehicles for him. ...
- But Lancaster continued to push himself, taking a variety of parts in The Rose Tattoo (also 1955), Trapeze, The Rainmaker (both 1956), Gunfight at the O. ...
- Nearing 60, Lancaster eased into character roles, notably in a trio of offbeat Westerns: Valdez Is Coming (1970), Lawman (1971), and Ulzana's Raid (1972). ...
- Able to pick and choose, Lancaster consistently went for the offbeat and the challenging-from Bertolucci's sprawling 1900 (1977) to Louis Malle's Atlantic City (1980), which gave him his greatest latterday success, as a small-time hood who misses "the old days" of that seaside resort. ...

- It would be lovely to affirm that the wonderful actor Burt Lancaster was actually the gracious artist-performer we probably imagine him to have been, someone who, because he didn't break into movies until he was 32, listened obediently to his directors and passed on to the less experienced on the sets his craft and wisdom.
- Such a scenario did happen occasionally, as on the Scottish set of Local Hero (1983), where Lancaster and filmmaker Bill Forsythe clicked, and where the American star, available to every minion in the cast, entertained with glorious Hollywood tales. Most of the time, as author Kate Buford shows persuasively in her well-written, well-researched biography, Burt Lancaster - An American Life (Alfred Knopf), the actor who charmed the world with his wide, toothy, friendly grin, was a screaming, intimidating bastard.
- Born in 1913 in the slums of New York, Lancaster remained as scrappy and venomous as his powerful Irish-American mother had been, forever an alienated, paranoid outsider in LA whose best (and only?) actor friend was the ex-Bronx Jew, Tony Curtis, and whose most meaningful love affair in Hollywood was with another Eastern-based Jew, Shelley Winters. His closest pal by far was a high-school chum, Lancaster's acrobatics partner during lowly barnstorming years with one-ring circuses.
- The press for decades liked to write of the off-screen friendship between Lancaster and his frequent co-star, Kirk Douglas, but Buford's book makes clear that it was Douglas alone who was desperate to make their amity real, that he was jealous of Lancaster, that he wanted to be Lancaster.
- And Lancaster? He played hurtful, disdainful jokes on Douglas, such as hiding Douglas's lifts just before an important "macho" scene in Gunfight at the O. ... In turn, Lancaster was jealous of Marlon Brando.
- Is it reasonable to say that Lancaster could have executed either role above? There are equivalent parts which Lancaster played smashingly: the muscular truckdriver in the movie of Tennessee Williams's The Rose Tattoo (1955) and the Italian nobleman-patriarch in Luchino Visconti's The Leopard (1963). ... What on earth is more compelling and moving than beautiful, elite Burt Lancaster on screen lording over this great, feudal, foreign-language picture?.
- Credit Kate Buford with realizing which Lancaster pictures are the really good ones, the lasting ones, not only the obvious choices such as From Here to Eternity (1953) and his Academy Award-winning Elmer Gantry (1960) but.
- Happily, Buford makes a strong case for a flawed, disparaged movie which, with years passing, is being rediscovered as a stirring near-masterpiece: Frank Perry's The Swimmer (1968), from a Cheever short story, in which Lancaster, barechested and in trunks, travels swimming pool from swimming pool across his Connecticut burb, a quixotic journey against conformity and for his being (impossible!) ever-youthful, ever-vigorous, sexual forevermore.
- The photo on the back of the bio is from The Swimmer, Lancaster bare-assed about to make the plunge.
- Shame on the publisher Knopf for not identifying the picture, because it looks like a clandestine snapshot from Lancaster's real life. By innuendo, this homo-looking photograph becomes a visual support for Buford's shaky speculation that he-man Lancaster was probably bisexual. Wouldn't Burt Lancaster - A Life have been just as successful without a protagonist who swings gay? Buford certainly doesn't prove it with her Hollywood Babylon-like rumors herein of Lancaster orgies with Rock Hudson and bevies of U. ...
