Your excellent article is lacking only in that it does not quote from his introduction to Snow Country: "In Snow Country we come upon the roaring silence of a winter night, for instance, or the round softness of the sound of running water, or, in a somewhat more elaborate figure, the sound of a bell, far back in the singing of a teakettle, suddenly becomes a woman's feet...

O'Toole, as the cunning, quirky King Henry, explodes with lofty authority when he catches his snarling cubs trying to unseat the old lion, or when he condemns his malign wife to lifelong imprisonment. As Eleanor, Hepburn is, at 59, unmistakably Hepburn; the quavering accent is still as prominent as her cheekbones.
