But there was something almost palpable about the man's integrity, symbolized by his lifelong insistence on regularly abandoning the screen for the rigors of the stage. That quality encouraged forgiveness of his occasional wasted screen moments, a certain sympathy with his troubles.

"But that matters less than that it won't be the blockbuster they counted on. The expectations of the investment community just weren't in line with the reality of the film." James believes that the high price of Disney stock (15 times its earnings, more than double the ratio of the much faster-growing Warner Communications) had caused potential buyers...
