...Italian Leprechaun. The Braves are the most improbable club in many years to make the playoffs. Their star center, Bob McAdoo, is a fingernail-biting acrophobiac who played with erratic brilliance in his first year but is leading the N.B.A. in scoring in his second. Guard Ernie DiGregorio, barely 6 ft., looks like an Italian leprechaun more suited to racking balls in a pool hall than leading the league in assists. Forward Jim McMillian, the guiding spirit of the team, is a thoughtful graduate from Columbia University, hardly a major source of basketball talent. Two other steady performers, Forward Garfield...
...strides across the home screen-a burly leprechaun in work shirt and blue hard hat.

The cast, fortified by daily rations of vitamin C, slogged through gales, rain, freezing temperatures and even hailstones. Polanski, 37, whose appearance suggests a Polish leprechaun, bounded all over his set, doing a little of everybody's job-digging up a rock, moving a prop, holding a horse. His eye for detail is such that he would interrupt a sword fight sequence to adjust the fold of a cloak, or, if a natural rainstorm did not seem convincing enough, supplement it by hosing...
...happen to hit the Square tonight, look around, you can't miss them. They look like George Gobel dressed up as a leprechaun, wearing their green high school jackets, blue jeans with a GREEN POWER sticker plastered on the crotch, and boots that have "kick-ass" patterned across the toe in dirt...
