One of his lesser known films, is A Shot at Glory, where he plays Gordon McCloud coaching a hapless Celtic team featuring none other than Ally McCoist in his first (and I believe only) acting role. The only reason I know about this film is because it was filmed at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park.
The only thing more tragic than Duvall's attempt at a Scottish accent is that McCoist (who was playing for Rangers at the time) wore his Rangers top under the Hoops so they "wouldn't touch his skin".
Also featuring Michael Keaton, Brian Cox and Cole Hauser as well as a score from Mark Knopfler, it's truly one of the worst films ever, and yet one of my proudest possessions.

A tribute on one of the French websites (BFM) described him as inoubliable (unforgettable).
That sounds right.
Back in the mid-1970s, on Sunday evenings after the pub had closed, BBC2 ran a series called The Great American Movie Show. It included films by the likes of Gene Hackman and Jack Nicholson - and Robert Duvall seemed to be in most of them. Great actor and many great films.
