A pretty odd and atypical role for Duvall in which he was perhaps not well cast. He plays a Brit, Dr Watson, sidekick to Nicol Williamson’s legendary detective Sherlock Holmes in this non-canonical fan fiction tale (a genre that critic Gilbert Adaircalled “shlock Holmes”). Watson is convinced that Holmes is suffering cocaine-induced delusions (due ...
A tiny, unsympathetic and perhaps uninteresting Duvall role in this breakthrough movie for writer-director-star Billy Bob Thornton, who plays Karl, a 40-year-old man with learning disabilities who has just been released from psychiatric hospital, having as a child killed his mother and her lover with the “sling blade” of the title. In a key scene, ...
This is essentially a cameo for Duvall, and yet his presence here is testimony to how iconic he already was. Coppola’s classic of paranoia has Gene Hackman as the shabby surveillance expert, hired by Duvall’s mysterious, shadowy “Director” to spy on his wife, who appears to be carrying on with another man. Hackman obsessively replays a bugged conve...
This was 31-year-old Duvall’s screen debut, playing the troubled but misunderstood recluse, Arthur “Boo” Radley, who fatefully rescues Jem and Scout, and becomes analogous to the title’s vulnerable mockingbird. There was not much for Duvall to do, but he maximises every second on screen, and the role introduced audiences to the testosterone of a bo...
Going up against John Wayne is a challenge for any actor, but the young Duvall did in the original True Grit, playing “Lucky” Ned Pepper, the notorious bandit chased down by Wayne’s ageing one-eyed gunslinger, Rooster Cogburn. “I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned!” shouts Cogburn. “Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker’s convenience. Wh...
Duvall excels at ageing authority figures (often with a hot-tempered youngster under his wing needing to be kindly schooled), and the cantankerous newspaper editor is a role he was born to play. In Ron Howard’s underrated newsroom drama, Duvall is Bernie White, the editor of a New York tabloid called the Sun. Hit with a prostate cancer diagnosis, h...
Robert Duvall got a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his ripe scene-stealer in this courtroom drama, playing Jerry Facher, a shrewd corporate lawyer working for the bad guys – big corporations accused of polluting the town’s drinking water. John Travolta plays the crusading lawyer acting for the families, but Travolta’s performance is no ...
More legal-eagle shenanigans for Duvall, playing a cunning but charming old sidewinder of a judge, who is now ailing. When he is accused of murder, he realises that there is only one lawyer who can get him off: his son, a smartmouth, big-city operator, played by Robert Downey Jr, from whom he has long been painfully estranged. They will have to hea...
This is classic mid-period Duvall in the kind of solid studio drama that used to be Hollywood’s bread-and-butter. He plays Mr Hillyer, a kindly paterfamilias in Alabama during the Depression; he and his wife (Diane Ladd) take in a young girl out of the kindness of their hearts to be a maid. This is Rose, played by Laura Dern, whose artless sexualit...
Duvall is deep into his crusty oldster phase in this movie: route-one casting, perhaps, but with some laughs and all very well performed. He plays Felix Bush, a mean old reclusive guy based on a real figure from 1930s Tennessee, who one day decides to fake his death just to hear what the townsfolk will say at the funeral: a cynical undertaker playe...
