Says one scout: At 5 ft. 10 in., 200 Ibs., "Romig is just too small to play anywhere...
Never on Sunday. A seeming reroast of an old chestnut-the tale of reformer being reformed himself by a warmhearted prostitute-ends up a savory satire full of animal spirits and earthy humor. Director Jules (He Who Must Die) Dassin also plays the overgrown American boy scout, opposite mercurial Melina Mercouri's invincible Greek strumpet...
