...corn pone, but a well-mannered young fellow from Richmond, with long brown hair floating down both sides of a pale, round face that looks more like 24 than 34. This is a Wolfe in chic's clothing: off-white suit, lemon-colored tie, brown-and-white pin-stripe shirt with French cuffs, wine-colored silk handkerchief puffing out of the jacket pocket-when he gets dressed up, in short, he looks like a well-polished Pierce-Arrow...
Tennis, Anyone? So is Terry-Thomas. Though after 30 films he has virtually monopolized the comic English codger role and added his own lunatic stripe to the Old School Tie, it is often hard to tell whether he is spoofing the upper-crust Briton or simply being one.

One white mercenary thought the Simbas had been outfitted with the discarded uniforms of a brass band...
...Bars & Stripes. His humor spills over into his conversation too. "My parents were so poor I was made in Japan," he reveals with an easygoing delivery that takes the slickness off it. His college education he describes as "Korea, Clash of '52." After that it was bell-hopping in Nashville, the country music capital, for a dime a week and tips. He had been writing and singing songs since Korea, "though I don't know a bar from a stripe; I just sing through my nose...
