She rewards him consistently with smooth Hollywood formula acting, and sometimes-especially in collaboration with Mr. Gotten-with flashes of acting that are warmer and more mature.

The discovery by the Army Quartermaster Corps (which had few advantages in its youth) that separate layers of cloth are warmer than one extra-thick layer like an overcoat, is not new.
