She is the young Magda redivivus to the last degree, including the way she arches her eyebrow when she speaks. As for Neeson -- of the nose-heavy, asymmetrical countenance and shrewdly darting, soul-searching eyes, he is a lopsided Gary Cooper redivivus -- hardly something to sneeze at. Redivivus comes from Latin, from the prefix red-, re-, "again" + vivus, "alive." | |||||||||
