One of my absolute favourite actors. My best remembered clip was from 'True Grit' with John Wayne. The Duke shouts out across the meadow, "Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!" They gallop towards each other, guns blazing! Brilliant! So sad he's passed away, but leaves a fantastic film legacy.
The Outfit, with Joe Don Baker, Robert Ryan and Karen Black. Based upon Donald E Westlake's (Under pseudonym Richard Stark) Parker book of thd same name, like Point Blank, the rights did not allow them to name the character as Parker, so used Macklin in this case. Very pulpy and gritty. Great example of an early 70's crime thriller, goes well with Peckinpah's The Getaway and Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia, and Michael Ritchie's Prime Cut.One of my absolute favourite actors.
