He also received an Academy Award nomination for his work in The Verdict (1982), a courtroom drama about an alcoholic lawyer in a malpractice case. In Sydney Pollack’s Absence of Malice (1981), Newman gave an Oscar-nominated performance as a businessman whom a reporter (played by Sally Field) wrongly implicates in a murder. Newman also maintained his star status by appearing in such popular films as The Towering Inferno (1974), an action thriller that starred Steve McQueen and William Holden Slap Shot (1977), a comedy about a hapless minor-league hockey team that is often ranked among the best sports films and Fort Apache, the Bronx (1981), in which he starred as a policeman who refuses to cover up a murder. Director Robert Altman used Newman effectively in his spoof on American western folklore, Buffalo Bill and the Indians (1976), and again in the controversial Quintet (1979), a futuristic saga. John Huston directed Newman in the title role of the darkly comic The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean (1972) and again in the British private-eye thriller The Mackintosh Man (1973). He played alongside Lee Marvin and Strother Martin in the antiheroic western Pocket Money (1972), directed by Stuart Rosenberg. Newman worked for a number of noted directors on pictures that were box-office failures at the time of their release but went on to become cult favourites.
