and on wikipedia:

My recollections of him are in the movie:

• The Vikings with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh (epic yarn of Vikings and their escapades)
• Spartacus (Slave hero who almost overthrew Rome)
• Lonely Are the Brave (Cowboy at odds with the modern world)
• 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (whaling sailor captured by the Nautilus)
• The Final Countdown (USS Nimitz goes back in time to WWII)
• The List of Adrian Messenger (quirky mystery with many actors in disguise)

He was indeed an "Immortal of the Silver Screen". My favourites are:

Ace in the Hole
The Bad and the Beautiful
Paths of Glory
Seven Days in May
