...must-hear: a brilliant transmutation of the novel, through sound alone, into powerful and sensitive feeling. (It was also one of Welles? favorite sto-ries; he would repeat it on "Campbell Playhouse," this time as Javert with Wal-ter Huston as Valjean, and in a parody with Fred Allen...
...hard to imagine that Paul Fireman has much in common with Allen Iverson. Fireman is the fleshy 57-year-old entrepreneur who plays golf and goes deep-sea fishing in what spare time he has.
