...American Jew who has lived with a "blind" hatred toward all Arabs. I never thought anything would make me alter my feelings, but Sadat demonstrated to me through his wisdom and courage that nothing is more important than the attainment of peace-not tradition, not pride, not even life itself. I will always feel that the world has lost a man who may have changed the meaning of life for all of us. Barbra Christodoulidis Cheltenham...

As Cross plays the stereotypical Jew, so Gielgud plays the stereotypical Cambridge/Oxford master: stiff collar, talk of good sportsmanship, supercilious expression, after-dinner liqueur. His upper-crust old-schoolishness lacks a human spark; consequently the character appears a flat cardboard mockup of the real thing...
