Burt was just an icon in the 70's. He was also the king of cornball, especially in the Cannon Ball Run movies which were fun.
With all due respect to LAFlamesFan, Burt made Mystery Alaska really shine, it was unusual seeing him play the understated dignified character.
That scene in the courtroom, when he casts aside the verdict and basically tells the town that they've embarrassed him was so well done.
RIP
