When I've thought of Paul Newman in the last few years I thought of the little scene that takes place in this clip between about 1:00 and 2:00. His character is an old gangster talking to a boy whom he's known since birth, and to whom he's been like a grandfather. He's trying to decide if the boy knows too much about a murder, and whether the boy is going to have to be killed. The blend of authentic sweetness and real evil that Newman shows here blew me away when I first saw it.
