Also delivering a strong performance is Martin as the evil Despard. He portrays Despard's madness with a joy and energy that is marvelous; his deep, diabolical laugh and insane facial expressions make him a wonderful character. Martin also displays remarkable range. Despard, freed from the family curse, becomes puritanical, and Martin handles this dramatic reversal well. He depicts the new Despard with a stiffness that is entirely appropriate...

...same. Years of protest and suppression have politicized them as never before and given rise to powerful antiapartheid coalitions. Skillfully led and adequately financed, such organizations could fill South Africa's streets and apply more pressure than the government has yet encountered. The notion that Mandela would soon be freed has focused everyone's attention on negotiations, but the political future of his country may depend in large part on the man and woman in the street...
