## Summary

Robert Duvall said that the 1973 crime thriller *The Outfit* was often overlooked, based on what other people told him. The film’s relative obscurity stands out against his celebrated run of roles in films including *The Godfather*, *Network* and *Apocalypse Now*.

In *The Outfit*, Duvall plays a petty criminal who takes on a criminal organisation after it has his brother and partner killed. The article says Quentin Tarantino once wanted to remake the film; Duvall reflected that critics and audiences tend to favour more obvious choices, adding, “That’s life.”
