    A Fiscal Fantasy
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2013*

A Fiscal FantasyBased on a story by the great American writer Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain 1835 - 1910), one should up the value of this "scrap of paper" some 100-fold to account for inflation to the present time.An amateur American sailor (Peck) gets swept off course and lands up in England with no more to his credit than the tatty clothes he stands up in. Nobody it would appear wishes to help the man (the American Embassy will not advance a loan without security) and so the penniless Peck roams the streets of London only to be asked into the house of two well-to-do gentlemen who entrust him with an envelope that he is not to open until a little over one hour hence. On the assurance that the envelope contains cash (amount undisclosed), the food hungry Pecks enters an eating house and orders a sumptuous meal for himself. He completes his meal shortly before time is up for him to open the envelope containing the secret note. He stalls payment of the bill thus engendering the proprietor's suspicions. Their attitude goes into servile reverse when it is found that the envelope contains a genuine million pound note.Seeking to replace his tatty clothes, Peck enters an expensive tailoring house where he gets much the same treatment as before. Thenceforth he finds the establishment at his beck and call, all based on he assumption that he is an American millionaire. Thus runs the tale of riches and influence exposing in the process the fallacy and frailty of monetary wealth.The treatment and behaviour of the world stock market has a part to play "selling" a similar story to the one found in "The Toast of New York" (Cary Grant et al). Both films in fact lay bare the surreal nature of our civilization that values ledger sheets above substance. In this sense we can see that mankind has been living in a sort of cyberspace long before the invention of the microchip. It also messages the gulf between fact and fiction in our management of the physical world. Fiscal manipulators, wealthy bankers and the like, may give he impression of wizardry in their own domain but most of them wouldn't last five minutes if they to had peel a potato, boil an egg or darn a sock.The ending may be somewhat predictable but none the worse for that. A fine casting and presentation, ideal for a wet evening's entertainment.

    An utterly charming movie
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2020*

This is a neglected gem.  Gregory Peck, the  most stalwart (If also the most middlebrow) of American actors, is oddly, yet superbly, cast in this one.  Ostensibly,  it's an adaptation of Mark Twain's story, and it smacks of Twain's God-like laughter at all of us,. of "the whole damned human race,"  yet, all in all, the movie's attention to grace, nuance, and irony seem more akin to the unique quality of the Ealing classics of the fifties---and that's not a bad thing.  Perhaps Alec Guinness was originally considered, and no doubt would have been brilliant, though it's hard to think how this film's romantic subplot would have worked with Guinnes).  In any case, it's Peck's show, and he delivers 100%.  It may not be a great movie, but it's a very fine one, and definitely worth a watch and worth a discussion when it's over.
