A visibly flustered Dodi exchanged some heated words with them before disappearing through the revolving door. Even at the hotel's two-star restaurant Espadon (French for "swordfish"), the stares of fellow diners made Dodi uncomfortable.

His peers are right: Salter deserves a larger audience...
...launched his career. Then on to 1939's Of Mice and Men, wherein Meredith, opposite the immortal Lon Chaney Jr., fields a lot of questions about rabbits. Finish with the languorous, creepy Hollywood pic The Day of the Locust (1975), with Meredith, Karen Black and Donald Sutherland as a fellow actually named Homer Simpson. It earned Meredith his first Best Supporting Actor nomination (they would stiff him twice...
