I think Melville kind of spoiled it for the rest. He simply did it too well.
Kind of like Nixon with vain, corrupt, unconstitutional, megalomania. He played out a grand tragedy, worthy even of a grand opera (Nixon in China) where this Moron is just playing out a farce (I mean, Trump dissin' Qatar would be more a second rate The Producers than a grand opera).
