Rating:  - Wonderful family fun
This an excellent family movie. It's very irreverent, making fun of the stock market, the SEC, modern art, New Yorkers, Texans, and Yankees, to name a few. None of the jabs are mean-spirited, and so even fans of Jackson Pollock can enjoy the character that is based (in part) on him. The jokes seem funnier over time (Henry's explanation of expressionist and impressionist painting to his group of cowboy partners is a hoot), and there is enough slapstick in the movie to keep kids entertained while you ...

Rating:  - Enjoyable, Smart Comedy Starring James Garner & Lee Remick
This is a worthwhile James Garner film with a script that was written by someone who actually understands business, the stock market, and Wall Street. How many movies have you seen where the concept of what is and isn't a mutual fund is accurately discussed? Good supporting roles by Jim Backus, John Astin, and many other familiar character actors.

Rating: - I love this Oldie but Goodie
Transplant Texan, Garner, needs money so he goes to the Big Apple to get some. He Meets a female stock broker banging her head on the glass ceiling who thinks he is rich.
This is one of my top 5 Garner movies and this is a movie that is just fun to watch. I love the scene at the restuarant with the steak. Crunch Crunch. My complements to the chef.
A sort of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT meets the TV show McCLOUD movie with good clean Texas fun.
