I agree! I'm used to him being such a sweetie in movies like, "Remember the Night," and even in, "Double Indemnity" he was doing it for a woman and was never cold to her. You're right though, he pulled it off.
We just ordered, as a late Christmas gift to us, the movie, Miracle In The Wilderness. Watched the last part of it this last weekend and it is truly a Christmas movie that tells of the birth and death of Christ.
