He scores now and again, as when he tipsily accepts another cup of the Milk of Human Kindness (yes, it's that kind of movie) from the Ghost of Christmas Present, but such isolated moments from an actor of his stature are slender fare indeed.

On the Acropolis, it was hard to distinguish the statues by sex.
