	Martin Landau
		Regarded for years as an excellent actor (trained at the prestigious Actor's Studio) but never the classic "star" type, Landau used his early theatrical training to his advantage by appearing in a number of live television shows being produced in New York in the 1950's.
		Landau's career soon declined into a series of low-budget flops, hitting rock bottom in 1981 with The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island.
		Martin bounced back in 1988 with his Oscar nominated portrayal of Abe Karatz in Tucker: The Man and His Dream.

	Martin Landau - Biography - Moviefone
		In 1966, Landau and his wife Barbara Bain were both cast on the TV adventure/espionage series Mission: Impossible.
		For three years, Landau portrayed Rollin Hand, a master of disguise with the acute ability to impersonate virtually every villain who came down the pike (banana-republic despots were a specialty).
		Landau finally won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's 1994 Ed Wood; his refusal to cut his acceptance speech short was one of the high points of the 1995 Oscar ceremony.

	The Tim Burton Collective - Martin Landau
		In 1971 Martin Landau was featured the obscure western, “A Town Called Hell.” The film, which was a co-production between Spain and England, featured a terrific performance by Landau as well as Robert Shaw, of “Jaws” fame, and Luis Bunuel favorite, Fernando Rey.
		In 1990, Landau portrayed Simon Wiesenthal in the made for television adaptation of Wiesenthal’s novel, “Max and Helen.” Landau’s performance was quite strong in a film that was fairly predictable.
		Landau’s luck in Hollywood seemed to have run dry, until Tim Burton cast Landau in his “Ed Wood”; in a role that would eventually become Landau’s most memorable and praised in his long career.

	Martin Landau Chooses Moral Complexity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Landau's early ambition was to paint, and by the age of 17 he was a cartoonist for the New York Daily News.
		Landau admits that while he has tried to avoid playing the same parts repeatedly, "in the old days I was frequently cast as Indians and banditos." He launches into a series of Native American and Latino accents in the stereotypical, old-Hollywood style, acknowledging with a laugh that political correctness would have limited his role options.
		Landau refuses to accept the idea that a dramatization of the Holocaust is by its very nature trivializing or that the subject has been rehashed to the point that further depictions are counterproductive.

	Martin Landau -- UC Berkeley professor
		Martin Landau, a UC Berkeley political science professor who challenged the idea that streamlined organizations run better than those with some duplication, has died after a lengthy battle with cancer.
		It was this way of thinking that led Professor Landau to develop his central theory: that large-scale public organizations run better when there is some duplication of expertise, of communication flow and of accountability -- just as electronics require backup systems for maximum efficiency.
		Professor Landau was also expert in the areas of organization theory -- why Silicon Valley had success, for example, while other high-tech experiments did not -- and decision theory -- recognizing that different dilemmas must be matched to appropriate tactical responses, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

	Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Martin Landau
		The strikingly different careers of the long-married Martin Landau and Barbara BAIN—who are being added to this encyclopedia simultaneously—illustrate an unfortunate truth about Hollywood, and perhaps about human nature itself.
		Landau's departure did force his wife to give up the best role she had ever had, and many observers undoubtedly thought that was she crazy to stick with this loser instead of tending to the interests of her own career, which at that point seemed infinitely more promising.
		But if the Internet Movie Database is to be believed, Landau is now slated to appear in two forthcoming films and a new television series, and this better-than-ever actor, now in his seventies, may still be able to awe viewers with another stunning performance, even as his ex-wife Bain stagnates in semi-retirement.

		Landau pumps some real emotion into his character, so much so that you will truly feel his guilt and paranoia in the aftermath of the "crime" refered to in the title.
		The connection between Allen and Landau is based on the fact that one of Gleason's brothers is a rabbi (Sam Waterston) who is going blind and is being treated by Ophthalmologist Landau.
		On top of this, the two principles are depicted in such a way that you admire the criminal, Landau and feel little sympathy for his victim or the inept, nebbish filmmaker who gets the short end of the stick from all his colleagues and relatives.
