Howard is supposed to be a rebel and a goof-off, but with a core of sensitivity and integrity supporting his literary ambitions and his resistance to Harry's loud demands that he find steady work. But Benson is one of those performers who appear to be playing for the mirror instead of the camera; nothing interferes with his pleased self-contemplation Harry...
