Trivia

The factory shown in the shots from across the river WAS the Gilbert & Bennett Mfg. Co. located in Georgetown, Connecticut (part of Wilton/Redding CT), and was vacant for years after operating as a brass and wire plant for over 100 years and a local landmark. The building was demolished in 2003 for commercial and residential development. See more »

not as bad as some say
9 July 1999 | by See all my reviews

This is an interesting movie which resists the easy temptation to paint Garfield as an avaricious vulture and Jorgenson as the saintly victim. It is even-handed in portraying both the cruelty that adaptation and changing times impose on people, and yet the necessity to do so. (Garfield: "I'm sure that the last buggy whip company in America made the best damn buggy whips in the world.") Jorgenson makes a moving and impassioned speech to the stockholders on the themes of caring and compassion, which completely wins the viewer over; no way do we feel that Garfield can respond, but he does, and very convincingly. One doesn't find this kind of ambiguity and even treatment very often; people like things black & white (e.g. Oliver Stone's "Wall Street"), which is perhaps why this film didn't make it big. I liked it. Danny DeVito is always worth watching, and Peck does a good job too. Unfortunately Penelope Ann Miller is not convincing in sultry mode.
