About this movie

A prestigious cast headed by Academy Award-winners Sir Laurence Olivier ("Rebecca," "Hamlet"), Tommy Lee Jones ("Batman Forever," "The Client"), Robert Duvall ("A Civil Action," "Falling Down") and Jane Alexander ("All the President's Men," "Kramer vs. Kramer") bring to the screen the larger-than-life actions and emotions of Harold Robbins' ("The Carpetbaggers") best selling novel. Olivier is a Detroit auto mogul and the patriarch of a multi-generational family, who are wheeling and dealing in both business and at home. "The Betsy," a car named after his great-granddaughter, is an auto so perfect that it threatens the other auto companies. Co-starring Oscar-nominee Katharine Ross ("The Graduate," "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"), Lesley-Anne Down ("North & South"), Edward Hermann ("The Lost Boys"), Kathleen Beller ("Dynasty") and Whitney Blake ("Hazel").
