Karl Malden

Karl Malden acted in the New York stage production of A Streetcar Named Desire alongside Marlon Brando and Kim Hunter, carried Mitch over into Elia Kazan's film, and there he won the supporting actor Oscar. The film took four awards at that ceremony and was nominated in twelve categories. He worked with Kazan again on On the Waterfront, playing Father Barry and drawing another supporting actor nomination, and in Patton he brought General Omar N. Bradley to life. He showed up as well in Hitchcock's I Confess and Kazan's Baby Doll. The AFI catalogue gives him forty-five acting credits. He stepped behind the camera too: the film he directed is Time Limit, and the AFI additionally counts The Hanging Tree among his directing credits, while our own catalogue puts that film under Delmer Daves.
