Bronson, at least, is better here than as the key informant in The Valachi Papers because he has less to say and more to do.

When, at one point, he is called upon to say "I live inside my head," we know that he is talking about a vacant room...

Peter woos her by parking his Volkswagen bus on a wharf and regaling her with tales of his childhood...
