...thing, Pryce's professor is decidedly more energetic than Harrison's. He prances up a 6-m library ladder, dances over couches and chairs, and races up and down a spiral staircase, singing all the while. Yes he sings. The lyrics of such famous songs, mostly spoken by Harrison, like Why Can't a Woman Be More like a Man? and I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face are reborn with Pryce...
