Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine Edward Robinson particularly can be depended on... He couldn't keep this picture moving, however, though he worked at it hard enough, poor man. Oct 3, 2019 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis ...a comedy that pits American stereotypes against English stereotypes, with amusing results. Rated: 6/10 Mar 30, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An enjoyable snappy satire on American-British differences when it comes to doing business.

kevin w In this decidedly Brit production Eddie G. plays an American salesman of the high-pressure variety trying to slick his way into high jacking the rights of an emerging new metal concern. A very young Ralph Richardson is his Brit counterpart, suave, debonair, and somewhat contemptuous of this Yank hooligan. Who will triumph between the two? AND there's a woman between them as well. There's an unspoken political undercurrent here that"s so distasteful I could hardly stomach finishing this, no matter the talent involved. In the final analysis, the age of this film made some forgiveness applicable, but just barely. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is pretty much a vehicle for Edward G Robinson, who's personality dominates what is quite a low-key story of an industrialist abroad. It's not as boring as the plot summary suggests, and has a feel-good style. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Edward G. powers this slight but pleasant little number into being better than it is.
