Both James Norton and Douglas Booth look relatively normal here, which has the effect of making this photo look like the human iteration of a Quirk Sandwich. They’re the white bread and she’s…I don’t know what the metaphor is! Deviled ham? Lightly pink and somewhat confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking at in the first place, surprising if you encounter it without knowing what it is going in. Something you might hold up to your face to figure out exactly that it is. I’m not sure that this look would hold up at a cocktail party in 1963, but every metaphor falls apart somewhere.
