Hart is humiliated in the script, in Rodgers' withering comments and, for one scene, in the couture: he wears a plaid suit, collar buttoned up, that looks like a kid's pajamas. Hart is the bad wittle boy, Rodgers' the annoyed adult. If these self-portraits are at all accurate, they suggest a reversal of the two men's original relationship, which began when Hart was a bon-vivant 24 and Rodgers...
