Since Ryan O'Neal was the worst possible choice for the role, just about anyone would have been a better choice, including Woody Allen or Arnold Stang.
If Ronald Colman, Richard Burton, Frederic March, Peter O'Toole (all in their youth, of course) would be ideal.
O'Neal, sounding like he just got off his surf board in Malibu, is an embarrassment. -

They would have brought too much Hubris, would have been too self aware. Almost the stereotype of the typical "rogue."
Although lacking the charm of the above mentioned, Ryan O Neal brings a quiet, calculating resolve to his character that works much better.

No he really doesn't, he actually came off as someone who studied and observed the accent thoroughly, although I can't say that about most of his roles. Ryan O Neal actually worked on this role and put some effort into it.
