In 1973 or '74, when "The Last American Hero" came out, Kael said something along the lines of "There is the great showy stuff DeNiro does in 'Mean Streets' and then there is the quiet naturalistic stuff Bridges does in 'Last Picture Show' and 'Last American Hero' where you can't even see him act and it's just as great."I too especially love his work in "Baker Boys." And remember his performance in "The Iceman Cometh"?
