The acting is kinda stale, but there is a hell of a lot of buddy-buddy dialogue and smalltalk (which is kinda fake at times and does little to forward the surprsingly simple plot). What’s with the St. Louis Arch at the end? A symbol for “brotherhood”?

A long ad for Fine Young Cannibals. Dreyfuss looks a lot better with a mustache. Once again, we see that night-to-day transition, this time with a Cadillac.

  1. I believe the movie is under rated. As far as the “arches” go, since they were in Baltimore, I never thought of St. Louis. Also the camera angle was stationary, so there was no logical reason for the arch to be rising. The dialog was about the next big idea in sales, so with the year being 1963, I was thinking of McDonalds..
