Even minor characters are three-dimensional, and it's interesting to see James Caan and Robert Duvall before they settle into the predictable stock roles that continue to dominate their careers.

Without resorting to a lot of silly hyperbole, we'd just like to state that Shirley Knight is simply one of the greatest actresses in the known galaxy and she has left her indelible mark on stage, screen and television.
Unlike herds of other fine actresses who peaked in the golden era of the 1950s and 1960s, Shirley Knight is still turning up in major films.
Along the way her immense talent has earned her most of the major awards, including the Emmy and the Tony, and we wouldn't be surprised if she also picked up a Heisman Trophy and a Nobel Peace Prize before it's all over.
