Strange Embrace
“High comedy, say. Or low comedy. Whichever way you played it, it had all the ingredients of a thoroughly hysterical scene. The famous director Ernest Buell, furious as a cuckolded husband in a French bedroom farce. Lennie Schwerner, bearded and bedraggled, trembling like the would-be beggar in Three-Penny Opera under the wrath of Peachum. Haig, mad as hell, and Johnny, trying to explain things so that they made sense.
It could have been a riot. All the potentials were there and with the right d...irection it might have been the funniest event since Charlie Chaplin’s debut. There was only one thing wrong.
Direction was completely lacking.
It went every which way, so it turned out tragic instead of comic.
The curtain rose with Johnny storming into Haig’s office at headquarters. Buell was sitting on one side of Haig’s desk, glowering. Schwerner sat on Haig’s other side and looked very small. An incongruous handcuff shackled him to his chair.
“Hold him,” Johnny snapped.
