I liked Paul best in the two southern cornpone Tennessee Williams adaptations he did with Richard Brooks in the '50s: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF & SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH.
However, excellent as Newman was in both of those, he was essentially support -- to Judith Anderson & Madeleine Sherwood in the former & to Geraldine Page in the latter. Those performances shook the very foundations of the craft of acting & the art of impersonation.
