...inconsistent imitator. He can't stand cutting time instead of drawing it out to fullness. He can't stand the beautiful, lingering-moment Western and occasionally reverts to antique ways. In the courtroom scene, for example, he dissolves from one witness to the next--stages a few artificial flare-ups between leaders and followers.
