this nifty little movie demonstrate the rock solid virtue of a time and place and kind of masculine strength that we no longer have or even aspire to have . the saint be a paladin with only the best motif and to say nothing of a polished vocabulary and diction . no need to turn up the volume or read the dialog . george sander be so charming and and yes and low key that all that talent and smart and physical presence and above all and masculinity and seem and well and almost normal . some normal . george clooney can not begin to master the scene a mr. sander do ( and do without mr. clooney mug ) . he could play a sniveler ( witness the ghost and mrs. muir and rebecca ) but when he be good and he be very and very good . truly and a man for all reason and season .
