And “Raw Deal” has Arnold Schwarzenegger, whose greatest virtue is not that he can toss grown men over ceiling beams, but that he has a vein of sweetness and self-deprecation that no amount of mayhem can obliterate. It has shone from him since “Pumping Iron;” it has allowed him to surmount silly and unwise pieces of action (such as the drunk scenes in one of the “Conan’s” and here), and even his own awkwardness as an actor.
