Awful

Rating: 1/10 (31 July 2006)

Well, Woody has hit rock bottom. How original: boy wants to rise to the top and marries boss's daughter and then falls in love with a would-be actress.
Now there's an original story only this time performed by two utterly inadequate actors: Johanssen and Rhyse Meyers. Boring as hell.
Now, I suggest you watch Alain Delon in Purple Noon as a man on the rise to the top and/or Michael York in the amazing Something for Everyone, truly a masterpiece that has been grossly neglected.
Skip this one. Watch Crimes and Misdemeanors, which is much better and with Martin Landau. But Woody's movies are getting quite tiresome and there is no spark, such as that in Love and Death, Zelig, Take the Money and Run, Bananas. Not to mention Hannah and Her Sisters. I think the emperor has no clothes and the critics cannot see this.
