| User ReviewMark Tgreat story about a car manufacturer similiar to one of the big three, and subtle twists regarding the various struggles to produce a gas efficient car, better than most Tommy Lee Jones movies today |
| User ReviewEllen FVintage 70s kitsch. A very young Tommy Lee Jones (voted best hair). |
| User ReviewJared HMelodramatic rubbish, but fun rubbish. Good sets, costumes and all that, very little regard for accurate period detail. Many over the top performances, but it's entertaining. A bit overlong, a little more editing would have helped out. |
| User ReviewVeltis AI had the unhappy pleasure of seeing this movie as a child. I had nightmares forever. |

| User ReviewEvan HOne of the most plotless movies ever conceived from a novel...a Harold Robbins novel, that is. It flashes back and forth throughout the movie focusing on Laurence Olivier's character and his career. It has big stars in this movie and even that doesn't make it good enough. It does however show that the actors have great talent when it comes to acting because the end result shows up in the movie. The acting is good, the director not so much and the script is mediocre. It's one of those movies that is worth seeing for believing how bad it truly is. |
| User ReviewRico MWatching this atrocity makes one wonder if [i]anyone[/i] involved in the film read the novel. |
| User ReviewBarbara OI seriously don't get how you can have such a cast (olivier, duvall and jones) and blow it anyway...?! |
