We see Carroll whisked from office to office, from bitter reunion to happy reunion, from boudoir to boudoir. A taciturn character by nature who oozes ennui from every pore, Carroll is everybody's darling, from his rags-to-riches dad who hasn't received a letter from his prodigal son in three years to the older...
