...breath for the Marlowe line. He has the control to make the relentless rhythms a hammer of pulse. His Edward jumps and flickers, a petulant youth who grows in viciousness yet retains sympathy, who dies stripped to a rag and a whimper yet retains tragedy. It is a performance, paired with his Richard, that marks McKellen at 28 as an actor of potential greatness.

Running a barbershop in a moldering district of London, they are each other's consolation prize. No hint of lust knits them together, only...
...retired executives, Bonanno finds the routine irksome. Most mornings Hill drives him into town, where Bonanno attends to errands until about noon. Returning home-a rather small, three-bedroom house at 1847 East Elm Street-he usually lunches on an Italian sausage sandwich, then puts on a "ghastly-looking" pair of Bermudas for a couple of hours of sun and reading in the yard...
