I don't know. I very much disliked his performance in "Cape Fear".

He’s really good in some roles, but then others he sounds like a drunk vagabond.

I like both Nolte and Lange, but I found Nolte perhaps more obnoxious than DeNiro, and Lange didn't really have all that much to do, except play the privileged suffering wife and mother. It was suffering that paled in comparison to what she tremendously brought to life in Frances.
Yes. Juliette radiates a young woman's glow and is so natural and so compelling to observe that I am able to watch the movie just for her. There are parts that are suspenseful, but even those parts reek and overall Scorsese's pretentious ambitions to make the movie bigger than it needed to be kill it. Nolte over enunciates his vowels all throughout the movie. I don't know how else to say it, but it's obvious and very annoying. Plus I thought his character was unlikable. I agree that he was more annoying than DeNiro and DeNiro was plenty annoying. This could not have been a good thing for the film. And I really like Jessica Lange, but not here. She was trying to make something out of nothing. Robert DeNiro's performance was ridiculous.

Nolte shoulda won an oscar for The Thin Red Line. Under Fire and North Dallas Forty are just 2 of his other great performances.

I liked Cape Fear. It seems to be the only Scorsese film where characters change, including the main one. In his other films-the main character never seems to grow or learn anything. Danielle goes from being ditzy to fairly resourceful.
The court clerk character was more memorable than the counterpart in the original. She really got a horrendous beating.
Mitchum was more threatening without doing anything but DeNiro was kind of like a Devil figure and it worked for me most of the time (and Nolte towers over DeNiro yet they made Nolte seem kind of wimpy--he lost a lot of weight for it so I hear).
I liked Nolte's increasingly unhinged persona in that film.
There's an interview he did where he mentioned he was in consideration for Superman 1978 and he said if he had gotten the part, he would have portrayed him as insane. The audience laughed and he said seriously: "I'm not joking."

I think Under Fire should have been his Oscar role - he is superb in that film. He’s hit or miss for me. When miscast, he can be awkward or downright bad (The Prince of Tides comes straight to mind), but at his best he’s a superb actor,
