Laurence Harvey's Aussie accent

For those who have criticized Harvey's Aussie accent, remember, he's not playing an Aussie. His character, who I think it's safe to assume has not been schooled in proper accents, is putting on an Aussie accent. He's an amateur. Therefore it makes perfect sense that the accent be amatuerish.

A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
