4 stars out of 5 -- Forsyth's values -- humanity over corporate greed -- have never been more relevant.
Uncut
Lancaster gets better with age; he is capital as the magnate with equal passions for astronomy and moneymaking. Peter Riegert is effective as his ambassador, and the Scottish actors are refreshing and adept.

Without question, the most charming British film of the 1980s.

5 stars out of 5 -- An enchanting fairy tale, all the more so for refusing to go for a cut-and-dried happy ending.

Product Description:
