Those who have been annoyed by such mannerisms in the past may find them less objectionable here. They not only convey the period that Hellman strains to retrieve, but their tough-gal veneer is offset by the sadness and vulnerability of the woman within...
...MANY voices whispering in the executive ear today, few convey a true picture of America's current position to the oval office. Two years in the Kennedy administration convinced Richard Barnet '52, Harvard Law '54, a onetime presidential adviser, that the president received too little input from people with enough courage to present to him more accurate, if pessimistic, assessments of his policies.

But the role swamps de la Pena; he acts like a dancer, relying on exaggerated expressions and quivering limbs to convey emotion. He performs several of Nijinsky's most famous ballets, including Afternoon of a Faun and Le Spectre de la Rose, but we see all too little of his dancing; Ross focuses the photography in Faun, for example, mainly on de la Pena's face...
