But gradually he inveigles himself into the doomed playboy’s world and, in doing so, into our sympathies. But here's the thing: Tom is so damn likeable. He’s self-effacing, shy and charmingly naïve about the ways of the wealthy – an orphan with a hard past who, through graft, charm, and sheer force of personality, beats the odds to make a success of his life.
