Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Ruthless Wall Street predator known as Larry the Liquidator sets his sights on acquiring--and destroying--the New England wire and cable company run in traditional and familial style by Peck... but he doesn't count on having to battle a lawyer as smart (or as appealing) as Miller, who just happens to be Peck's daughter. A great vehicle for DeVito, though lacking the bite (and the ethnicity) of Jerry Sterner's off-Broadway play. Slick and engaging, but never really satisfying.
