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.

Don't know how I ever missed that Sergio Leone film, it can't be anything but a winner with those two aboard, I'll have to check it out,thanks for the heads up on that one! No doubt it's outrageous
