I think he was truly great in that role - perhaps for once in his career.

Agreed; you can't polish a turd so Ryan O'Neal had solid moments... - mpathus 18:44:07 07/08/11 (1)
... like when in the carriage he blows smoke in his wife's face, and then smiles with a kiss.

Awesome moment.

No, Vic, Kubrick was great, and used his wooden leading man, perfectly. - tinear 17:36:40 07/08/11 (2)
Ryan has to be one of America's Worst Ever (AWE). It merely underlines Kubrick's genius that he could work with such an idiot.

  I wrote many times before that Kubrick made Ryan work well in his hands, I never said it was his acting talent.
  
  Be it as it may, he fit the role wonderfully, created a touching and deep character - who cares who or what guided him.
