Funny - The Rebel review by CP Customer
Very good archetypes and characterisation, and still seriously true about the art trade.
Irene Handle especially as a lovely type your nan would have been friends with.
You can never have enough humour about French existentialism in a humourous farce. Tony at his misunderstood everyman best.
