WHO WILL STOP THIS SENSELESS SLAUGHTER? :

Oscar Winner Rod Steiger Dies at 77 (AP, 7/09/02)
Rod Steiger (1925-2002) joins the lengthening list of big names to die in recent weeks. He made a career out of playing tortured souls. Some of our favorites : On the Waterfront (1954); Oklahoma! (1955); Run of the Arrow (1957); Doctor Zhivago (1965); and In the Heat of the Night (1967)

Given the context of the times, I'd argue that Waterfront and Heat of the Night may be the best film of the 50s and 60s respectively.
