...trustee will reviews his debts with creditors. "It prevents a sheriff or marshal and New York State from coming in and just simply ransacking Bernie's house, having a public auction out on the street, doing anything that's basically unpredictable," said his lawyer, Darnay Hoffman.

He was an uncertain juror in Twelve Angry Men (1957); a doomed detective in Psycho (1960); a Navy doctor utterly at sea in the moral morass of the nuclear age in The Bedford Incident (1965); and a hardworking family man at odds with his unreliable brother in A Thousand Clowns...
