...people!" But it is O'Toole who continually dominates the screen, and he dominates it with professional skill, Irish charm and smashing good looks. They are the looks of a healthy young lion: large strong animal mouth, blazing blue eyes, big graceful head overgrown with a golden mane. (Lawrence by comparison was something of a mouse: his coloring was drab, and he stood scarcely 5 ft. 5 in.-a full head shorter than O'Toole.) In his performance, O'Toole catches the noble seriousness of Lawrence and his cheap theatricality, his godlike arrogance and his gibbering self...
...multimillionaire (real estate, timber, livestock), with an imposing mane of grey hair thatching an elephantine hulk (250 lbs.), Boykin's political stock in trade was a boisterous greeting: "Hello there, Pardner! By God, everything's made for love!" Funny thing was, Boykin really meant it. "God is love, see?" he explained. "He made everything, didn't he? So everything is made for love, get it?"

...Fantasy. These works rarely showed gods, nor did they often portray men, as in the combat scene surmounting the golden comb (see color). The favorite subjects of the Scythians were animals, and few civilizations created an animal kingdom with a more graceful sense of fantasy. A boar's mane is not just so much wild and scraggly hair, but a crescent of curls to be worn like a crown. A tiger's body is as supple as an accordion: every muscle, every rib, every stripe is there. A deer, though kneeling, seems to be darting through...
