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.
