Some of the two-dimensional characters we've been laughing at fade into the background while others blossom into real three-dimensional human beings. The result are often quite moving. When Leslie (in which role Michael Sacks is again perfectly cast--in his khaki he seems out of a World War II movie, an English Van Heflin both in costume and good spirits), the British soldier stops...
