Round 3: Tossup 5

In a 1948 film, this actor gets drenched in blood and white paint during a knife fight. At another film’s climax, a woman resumes playing piano despite seeing this actor’s character in a shootout against a thief with muddy clothes. This actor is the younger of two men who point a gun at a thief in a baseball stadium in that film, which begins with the off-screen theft of his character’s gun. Another film’s final shot depicts this actor seeing his reflection in a prison cell shutter, after he meets a man who violently shudders as he reckons with death row. In another film, this actor writhes in pain on a beach as the camera tracks left past some (*) arrows to focus on a stolen horse. This actor played a man who disarms a woman’s dagger before kissing her in front of her tied-up husband, which he recounts (10[1])while himself tied up during a trial. For 10 points, name this actor who played a gangster in Drunken Angel, a cop in Stray Dog, a shoe magnate in High and Low, and a bandit in Rashomon. ■END■
