...stage work, Penn successfully brought his Broadway hit, The Miracle Worker, to the screen. At first, he proved better at transferring than at creating. His early experiment, The Left-Handed Gun, starring a self-conscious Paul Newman as Billy the Kid, paid heavy homage to the Actors Studio. Mickey One was a sedulously Francophilic film with Warren Beatty in the unlikely role of Everyman. But both movies displayed a moral force and a growing understanding of the possibilities of film.

If you will excuse the sentimentality, it seems appropriate that Ince has the same number as Mickey Mantle did. But Harvard probably won't retire the number 7 as the Yankees will. And Ince's dedication is evident on the lacrosse field as well as on a squash court. One day when I went down to practice, everyone had gone in except for three guys. One of them was Ince...
