...colleague, Dr. W. Virgil Brown, whom he describes as "exquisitely allergic to guinea pigs." Injecting some of Brown's blood serum under his own skin, Hamburger found that he developed a classic allergic reaction, complete with large red welts, when he exposed himself to guinea pig extract. But after he injected himself with the peptide, his allergic reactions were reduced...
...weeps frequently and unconvincingly. In fairness, he tries to restrain himself through much of the film, but he has become such a victim of his own mannerisms that he even overdoes underplaying. Similarly, Hennessy itself breaks down at crucial points.

Cynics in The Pedagogues are constantly worrying about whether they are seeing the real Harvard or just a watered-down version, with all the big-name professors being...
