...shortish guy with a strident, high-pitched voice, he's like a teenager playing Hammer in a school pageant, and he's dressed in a trenchcoat so oversize, it seems to be holding Chuck Bednarik's shoulder pads. Elliot is further undercut by the dialogue. "I like to stick my neck out," he tells Charlotte, "Makes me think I'm tough." (Mike can't have the pretense of toughness; he's got to exude it.)

When it works, as it generally does, it greatly reduces the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. I wrote in TIME 41/2 years ago about having PD and adopting a strategy of denial: pretending to myself and others that I didn't have...
