He'll always be Captain America to me.
He was brilliant in "Ulee's Gold". That whole movie is flawless and he was perfectly cast.
I’ll say something nice, too.
I liked the ‘68 Charger he drove in “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry” though the paint job looked pretty bad when they opened the trunk lid.
But then, I like any ‘68, ‘69, ‘70 Charger especially well.
‘67 even a ‘66.
And ‘71-73 is OK. But those ‘68-’70 are my favorites.
He'll always be Captain America to me.
During a 1997 interview held in Melbourne, Fonda commented on the character he portrayed:
Ulee is the best character I’ve ever read. It’s the kind of role you pay money to do — a complex character full of possibilities and the script was full of moments that were very deep, very pure and very simple. I also found a lot of Ulee in my father. He kept a couple of hives and I can see him hop-footing it across the lawn, thinking he had a bee up his pant leg. As I began to develop Ulee, I used a lot of the way my father was to us as kids, the way he was to us as a family and the way he was to himself.[6]

The Hired Hand.
Great, great performance.
I agree, one of the better movies ever made.
I think the same guy made “Ruby In Paradise”, which was also really good, despite the fact that I hate the star.
Interestingly both were set in the Florida Panhandle.
Never heard of it. Googling...
Inspired John Lennon to write “She Said She Said”.
Yes! ULEE’S GOLD is a treasure and Peter Fonda was terrific.
