    or Billy Gray at all. Jaffe did what he could, and it was clear that he was
    trying to humanize his character, but you really sense that he's an archetype just going through his pre-programmed motions.
    But that's exactly how my real life college prof. taught
    physics! (ha ha).
    Here's one more aspect that I loved about the movie, but
    forgot to mention in my prior post ---the score by
    Bernard Herrmann. I thought it completed the movie.
    Many others however hate the sound of the theremin (sp?),
    and I kind of suspect you may not have liked the score.
    As far as I'm concerned one cannot mention this flick
    w/o mentioning Herrmann's score.
