Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It should have been a juicy historical biopic. Rated: B- Jun 5, 2020 Full Review Pare Lorentz Vanity Fair It shows Silver Dollar hanging grimly to his store until his grub-stakers make him a millionaire, and then it shows his subsequent wildness in a series of slow, but fairly amusing episodes.
