Morgan Freeman is just simply awesome here! Movie star cool and box office charisma is on full display here...way before he hit it really big on later film projects.

The W.D. actor totally reminds me of a young Fred Gwynne from the Munsters. Especially with the frustrated facial expressions and wry smiles.
