Zachary Scott gives the best performance of his career in this hard-to-find drama about a poor boy who rises from poverty through adoption by a rich family. A little bit of Citizen Kane, a little bit of The Wolf of Wall Street, and a dash of The Scoundrel (a favorite George Saunders film of mine), provides the basis of a great soap that will keep your interest from beginning to end. And I thought I had seen a lot of ruthless people on Wall Street when I was younger. This one takes the cake.
