Al Pacino (Dick Tracy) 1990
Pacino playing broadly and exuberantly for laughs, Big Boy Caprice is a kind of amped-up version of De Niro's Al Capone crossed with Richard III and P. T. Barnum, with a fondness for nightclub musical numbers and a penchant for misquoting dead presidents. Pacino can sometimes be mannered, but this works to his favour playing a cartoon grotesque, and despite being practically unrecognisable encased in facial prosthetics and a body-suit that gives him the physique of a sock full of walnuts, he's still unmistakeable.
