Audience Member Laurence Olivier trying to imitate a Midwest Tycoon must be the all time worst accent in any film ever. It is worth watching the movie just to see how incredibly bad Olivier can be. I wish I could find some kind of YouTube clip or something like that with him showing off his acting chops in the film. Incredibly bad. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Vintage 70s kitsch. A very young Tommy Lee Jones (voted best hair). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member great 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 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member One 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. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very entertaining trash, adapted from Harold Robbins' best seller, about family relations and politics in a three generation sect of automobile builders (whose cars look suspiciously like late 1970s AMCs). Still just a soap opera, but a very good one at that, with a wonderful, enegetic cast. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Melodramatic 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.
