      Tom M Woolley is great again portraying the most clever man in the room. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/21 Full Review Audience Member Pleasant comedy with a good cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this fine screwball comedy, from a very clever story by Paddy Chayefsky, about a man forced to retire from a beloved printing job because he turned 65. He decides to go straight to the president to question the ageist policy, discovers no one knows what the president looks like, decides to impersonate him, and hilarity ensues. Wonderful roles for Monty Woolley, Thelma Ritter, Constance Bennett and Marilyn Monroe. Heartily recommended if you're in the mood for a few good laughs at the expense of American big business. Still a relevant question that wrangles society today: Whether or not capable people should have to stop doing what they love because of age. I wonder if many instances are simply excuses to incorporate age-related discrimination. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not the best film in the world...but, it's worth watching at least once b4, you kick the bucket...Njoy!!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A sweet satire film where the main character dictates the entire flow of the movie. It was so funny, but not the kind of funny that will put you to tears or blow you away. The entire cast was good, and I think each of them said the words "Consolidated Motors" at least 5 times each. Good film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent, fun and inventive film from the great 50`s era! I never heard of Monty Wooley, but he sure was great in this!
