...game, so he tears the earphones off the boy's head in an attempt to hear what is being said on the eaves of doom. The precipice man is still wobbling there when Arthur's peripheral vision picks up George C. Scott, who is walking with set jaw, lips in motion, toward a mad parolee with a gun.

...deft. David Rittenhouse, playing Ferneze, the Governor of Malta, and Francis Gitter as the Jew's daughter, display a remarkable intensity in their more straight-forward roles. Charles Degelman, who plays the scheming Turkish slave Ithamore, could have looked evil just by raising his eyebrows and shifting his huge jaw into a sneer.

Next, Billy embroils himself in simultaneous engagements with two horrid girls who hold no appeal for him. Prissy Barbara, a vacuous townie whose jaw drops when he puts his hand on her knee, and Rita, a shrew with large breasts and a gelding tongue, are constantly on the point of finding Billy out.
