In his latest film, he scratches his grizzly chin and narrows his tired eyes with the charm of a runty mutt who must scrounge to survive on a diet of crabgrass and crusty bread. Dawaere's puppylike affability extends to his awkwardly rolling gait, which takes him down highways, through bathroom windows and across manicured gardens on a quest for hilarious revenge...

With the splotchy face and long nails referred to in the text, Morton has worked out a fully rounded characterization. He crawls on his belly, he walks with a special bow-legged gait, and he indulges in puling vowels and animalistic exhalations of spleen. He knows how to emphasize the explosive consonants with which the dramatist peppered his part, and he displays a splendid singing voice in his robust freedom song (in which Morris has replaced his high woodwinds with the more appropriate...
