George, who's better known as "Doctor Leopard" around Chicago, was yelling like a madman--so loud that I couldn't even hear the captain call the shots when the team was in place on the line of cribbage.

...Duvall's goofy Wendy, eager to see what new twitch he will add to his repertoire. His eyebrows flap like crazy crows and his mouth and eyes twist into an astounding collection of evil leers. Even his voice changes frequency. This brilliantly amusing psychopath is a stylized mixture of madman and dramatic artist, one glazed eye directed at himself, the other on Danny, who is played to terrified perfection by little Danny Lloyd...
