Newman is still chock full of Brando mannerisms-the animal clumsiness,'mumbled speech and hunched shoulders-and he shambles through his scenes as precariously upright as a dancing bear. But there is strength in everything he does, and his occasional tenderness with wife Pier Angeli or his racked mother (Eileen Heckart) is as compelling...
