THE UGLY AMERICAN

Peter Ustinov at his best. Who wouldn't like to win a round-the-world trip, especially if you happen to be a no nonsense, crabby New York city cop named Bartram Krumnagel. First stop is a pub in England and Bartram, being the ugly american that he is, gets into an argument with a drunk Scott, now when you have two drunks that's when the fun starts. Ustinov writes his characters the way he played his movie roles, with humor, satire and a nudge in the side to get the party rolling. Traditional English values of law and order versus America's vigilante style justice brings out the worst and the best of both countries. GREAT READ.
