Hoskins plays this dear wet simp with a rude winsomeness. Tyson (Cicely's niece) finds dignity and pathos in a whore's hauteur. As the gang lord, Michael Caine exudes satiny menace. And Director Neil Jordan (who wrote the + script with David Leland) tells the story from George's point of view while filming it in a style as fancy and knowing as Simone's.

Keep your mouth wet--and your mustache trimmed"), then sideshow manager, then ringmaster. Then the show went bankrupt. Judkins' last task, in December 1977, was to return an elephant leased from D.R.
