Good morning Meg,
First of all it's lovely to hear from you again. Thank you for the insights into JP'S portrayal. I quite liked the sniffing, I don't know why. Maybe it was such a unique 'piece of business' for an actor to use.
It would have been so easy for Prochnow to go down the 'U-Boat Vorwarts' route ie. Firm set heroic jaw, Spotless white cap etc. God I'm glad he didn't !
Small qualification. Noreen didn't fall for him until he grew his beard. Once that happened she was hooked.
Do Chara
