He was wonderful in his time

Eli Wallach dies

He was splendid in Lord Jim, too.

He played villains with great verve, good humor, and tremendous spirit.

Contrast him with Curt Jurgens who often brilliantly played a cowardly villain.

Wallach played a fearless villain.

Again, think of Lord Jim.

They were both born in 1915.

Jurgens died in 1982.
