Jay V. Pati's Boubouroche is a little less convincing, due largely, I think, to his make-up-- a cross between the Great Gildersleeve and a silent movie Simon Legree, with a touch of the young Cesar Romero. He simply looks too worldy-wise and cunning for a man who hadn't had a mistress till...
...Angelique's unscrupulous lover Clitandre, Jay V. Pati is perfectly cast: he is handsome has a winning smile with gleaming white teeth, knows how to use his rich baritone voice, and moves with grace...
