John Qualen built one of Hollywood’s longest, most prolific character careers, appearing in hundreds of films across nearly five decades. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance hides a more complicated truth about a senator’s reputation, Anatomy of a Murder defends an army lieutenant, Elmer Gantry reinvents a salesman as a fire-and-brimstone preacher, and A Patch of Blue befriends a blind young woman. The Searchers and All That Money Can Buy round out the list.
01 A blind young white woman forms an unlikely friendship with a kind Black man, unaware of her family's prejudice.
