Other roles--as the lover torn by scruples in the film of Graham Greene's The End of the Affair, as a deranged Londoner in David Cronenberg's Spider and as three generations of Hungarian Jews in Istvan Szabo's Sunshine--won him kudos, but the films fizzled at the box office.

PANAFEST—not an acronym, but unfailingly capitalized by Ghanaian journalists—is a sordid affair that mixes tedious, egotistic African government types with local Rastafarians conniving to profit off of stupid tourists with the mushy, self-righteous black American tourists themselves, coming “back to Africa” to rediscover their roots...
