  His being a very versatile actor, and able to do drama and comedy, is a proven fact.

  Recently, I enjoyed watching him and Rod Steiger in Sergio Leone's
  "Duck, You Sucker" (aka "Fist Full of Dynamite" in the US). What a pair of actors, to be in one film! See it on FLIX cable movie channel.

  I think we have all loved Coburn's classic, knowing "smirk"/twinkle in the eye expression...that he patented officially,to great effect, in very popular break through film...for him, James Garner, Steve McQueen..."The Great Escape".

  I feel he matured as an actor, gracefully...if that's the word...
  in "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid"...which as yet to be reproduced for us on DVD. Still waiting, here !!

  I wasn't aware, until recently, that he suffered, and was severely debilitated, by arthritus.

      Check out "Sergio Leone...Something To Do With Death" by Christopher Frayling...It's a long one, but a great, informative read!

      Here's a link that has 57 sample pages to read...

      http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0571164382/qid=1028103677/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/103-7782809-4748624

      I acquired a DVD, a South American release, of "Once Upon A Time In America", and it's a great movie too!

      Would like "Once Upon A Time In The West", someday !
