Though the rest of the drama appears to be based on hysterical inaccuracies, the strain in Spain lies mainly in Actor Ferrer, who portrays the temper of genius with a flatness more appropriate to Toledo, Ohio. Dressed in custom-tailored smocks and tunics, Mel looks like nothing so much as a paid escort en route to the Beaux-Arts Ball...
