An Equus is a horse, of course, of course
Um, the Mr Ed reference wasn't my idea; it's under the photo in the article.
A strong performance almost emerges from very handsome Randy Harrison, at least what we can see of him. Despite his eventual equine eye-gouging, it is really unnecessary that Alan wear blinders. But with locks of his blond hair constantly obscuring the left side of face, including his eye, that is precisely the effect. Consequently, we are never fully drawn into Alan, and he remains more a cipher than desirable.
