Very under-rated movie that I have found very few people have seen:

Williams is great in it, as is Matthau, but honestly, it's Jerry Reed who steal the movie.

Exactly. I had no idea Robin Williams had that kind of range until I saw One Hour Photo. NO ONE could have played that part the way he did!!!

Did you see Williams in an episode of Law and Order where he plays the tourist to NYC whose wife is killed in street mugging?
One of his earliest drama performances
So much attention because it proved he could act not just be an off the wall comic

And I was remiss to omit “Moscow on the Hudson” where Williams plays a musician in the Moscow Circus who defects while on tour in NYC...
A great film about the immigrant experience...equal doses of great manic comedy (not really Williams) and sadness...

So many good movies, but a couple of my favorites, Good Will Hunting and Cadillac Man.

I remember that episode, but he already had a number of dramatic performances under his belt by then. It definitely wasn't one of his earliest.
