You lot were never sure, so further study was obligatory." Hunter said, "he never became a not bad actor, only he knew exactly how to dominate a scene quietly." Bronson "was the man with the proper noun ending in a vowel ... who never left the position, never complained, never quit, never skulked.

His dignity was all the more palpable for never having to be expressed in words."^[43]

Bronson told critic Roger Ebert in 1974 that "I'one thousand only a production similar a cake of soap, to be sold also as possible." He said that in the activity pictures he was producing at the time, there was not much fourth dimension for interim. He said: "I supply a presence.
