...second term. A more ebullient, less inhibited Nixon emerged. At a restaurant in Coral Gables, he mingled jovially with the other diners, patting a girl on the cheek and telling her: "You'll always be beautiful because you are blonde." To a dermatologist, he said in mock horror: "Skin and all that. Don't tell me any more about it!" Stopping at an ice cream drive-in after dinner, Nixon chatted with other customers, told the manager: "Your spirits must...
Jeffrey Wayne Davies as Bunthorne the mock aesthete who prides himself on the flock of women who adore him creates a dark but wispy Edgar Allan Poe type a creature of irreproachable vanity and matchless hypocrisy.

Shallow stuff, but as Held would say, ah, those dear dim days...
...Davies runs a roadhouse band, an inebriated, often sloppy, occasionally off-key crowd of louts who are proud of their loutishness. So Ray sprays the front rows with beer, during a drunken and therefore mock-puritanical version of "Alcohol," just before reminding us who he is, with "Skin and Bone," about Muswell Hill`s "fist, Bobby Annie;" and who he becomes, with "Yes Really Got Me," and "All Day and All of the Nights...
