the pity he resorted to so many mannerisms, like that smarmy smile/grin, the shrug of the shoulders, the "hey kid" line, etc.
The Paul of "Hud" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" was magnificent.
Like many actors, he became a parody.
"Long Hot Summer" is one of his best performances, all but forgotten now, along with his portrayal of an attorney in a film with Philadelphia in the title (The Young Philadelphians?).

But I think he has chosen his "senior" roles well, like in "Nobody's Fool", the father in "Message in a Bottle" (the only thing good about that film), and others.

  I thought Nobody's Fool was one of Newman's best efforts in a long, long time. Nowadays, he seems better suited toward marketing his salad dressing :-)
