suaveness

The actor shows he has movie star chops, carrying the film with his suaveness.

In his five days on the stand, Watson brought his trademark suaveness and gift of gab — and why not?

He combined an American matter-of-factness with a suaveness that can put you in mind of Italian design and fast cars.

“Many Brits believed that their role in life was to play Athens to America’s Rome, lending us the benefit of their superior suaveness, and smoothing off our regrettable colonial rough edges,” Bolton writes.

But now, more than two months later, the production exudes that sense of deft suaveness customary to the genteel age that “My Fair Lady” — based on George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” — epitomizes.
