Sheer geniosity... or perhaps ingeniosity.... or perhaps just ossity. Hu Nose?

...which is no reflection on Olivier, just this poem. I loved him in those two parts, I didn't love the people, just the way he played them. I liked him in Pride and Prejudice with Greer Garson too. He was good in The Boys from Brazil. I know I've seen him in other stuff, but can't remember, offhand.

hmm, I'm trying to think...I know - "uninspired"!
