Joyce's first reply to his wife's response, that August 31st letter, is a key that unlocks one of the most lyrical moments of filth in the canon of Dirty Parts. It is a strange moment for Joyce, an attempt to become closer to Nora through a type of innocent lechery: There is a place I would like to kiss you now, a strange place, Nora. Not on the lips, Nora.

Anna also learned to exploit his legendary jealousy to bind him closer to her. He went wild over the most innocuous attentions paid to her by other men. He regularly kissed the hands of other women upon being introduced to them, but if anyone did the same thing to Anna, he would become bitter for the rest of the evening, and sarcastically encourage her to return the attentions of her young admirer.

When this sort of projection does not work (The Stone Killer, Death Wish), Bronson is a Goliath who could be toppled by leprechauns. This time, however, the stolid performer manages to achieve an authentic, scruffy street dignity...
