...spare in action but effulgent in abuse, and directs his thugs like the Joe Mankiewicz who Benton and Newman once worked for (on whom the character is reportedly based). Still, there's a lot of soggy Harvey Schmidt pianoforte and vacant land-scapes and awkward tries at folksiness to go through before he meets his end. By the time he brags about being "the oldest whore on the block," it's become clear that not only Jake and Drew, but Benton and Newman, are the youngest...
