Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988)
Based on a true story. Shortly after World War II, Preston Tucker is a grandiose schemer with a new dream, to produce the best cars ever made. With the assistance of Abe Karatz and some impressive salesmanship on his own part, he obtains funding and begins to build his factory. The whole movie also has many parallels with director Coppola's own efforts to build a new movie studio of his own. (imdb)

They do not make them like they use to. This movie is an 80's relic. It trivialises what is clearly a significant historic story, with a puffy piece on a seemingly eccentric loon. Tucker fails to entertain often coming off needlessly slow and trite. This appeared at the same time as 'Big' and 10 and a half years before 'Saving Private Ryan' and so is likely of its time, but time has moved on.

This film has some slow parts and the script could have used one more rewrite to make it more interesting. However Jeff Bridges is great in this film, his performance makes the movie better. Overall I would recommend this film.

This is a fascinating story, and the truly magnificent cast all do a great job with what they have to work with. Since the film is set immediately post-WWII, Coppola chooses to give it an exaggerated breezy "golly gee whiz" tone that has a tendency to keep everything fast moving and very surface level. I'm interested in Tucker, but i ultimately learn nothing about what makes him tick ... other than just like Coppola, he's a man with big, bold vision that makes terrible business decisions.

Though highly romanticized, this mostly-true story delivers a powerful statement on the myth of American free enterprise. Under-rated, evocatively photographed and sincerely played. Dean Stockwell appears briefly on a knock-it-out-of-the-park portrayal of Howard Hughes.

Competent in most respects, but I found it lacking in the why should I give a shit about this story department. Landau, who was nominated for an Oscar and won the Golden Globe, stands out.

Tucker's battle against the big corporations of his time is said to be analogous to Coppola's own struggle to establish Zoetrepe in a market dominated by major players and rapid commercialisation. Needless to say, both stories ended in failure (Zoetrope is a pale shadow of its former self). Tucker lacks psychological depth, but it's a charming and stylish Rockwellesque vision of old American capitalism about a big dreamer's inevitable defeat relayed with bitterweet clarity.

On the problem of regulatory capture and the perversion of the mixed economy. Gives new meaning to the term "creative destruction," what with the antagonists innovating fresh new ways to destroy potential competition. As dark a cloud as communism thrusts over a state, this movie calls to mind the depression of the "free market" dreamer when he comes to realize that the vast majority of politicians and regulators are basically walking scum. A crisp movie; at turns wonderful and infuriating.
