...that this galling half success, the insult of being known but not well known, may have been too much for a prideful man. Last Dec. 7, some time after A Matter of Honor had been sent to the publisher--and been accepted--Izzi's body, wearing a bullet-proof vest, was found hanging outside the window of his 14th-floor office above Chicago's Loop.

Later, Branagh's vest is removed to uncover a skin-tight tank top, revealing, of course, Branagh's chest hair. Not only does Branagh seem to wish desperately that he be immediately lauded as sex symbol of the decade, but he also employs some heavy-handed Christ imagery when he is carried out after Fortinbras' coronation. Branagh seems to be going for much more than an Oscar here...
