When they promised not to call as witnesses the girls named in his diaries, Sirhan became glib and almost ingratiating when he spoke of the man he had killed.

...somewhat surprisingly, by Peck, who is in private life an avid collector of Lincoln memorabilia. With flashes of ironic humor and his customary rigid dignity, he escapes the boundaries of the role and gives it an honest, Abe-like stature.
