Summary: Wonderful family fun
Comment: This an excellent family movie. It's very irreverent, making fun of the stock market, the SEC, modern art, New Yorkers, Texans, and Yankees, to name a few. None of the jabs are mean-spirited, and so even fans of Jackson Pollock can enjoy the character that is based (in part) on him. The jokes seem funnier over time (Henry's explanation of expressionist and impressionist painting to his group of cowboy partners is a hoot), and there is enough slapstick in the movie to keep kids entertained while you are laughing at jokes about securities fraud.

Summary: Enjoyable, Smart Comedy Starring James Garner & Lee Remick
Comment: This is a worthwhile James Garner film with a script that was written by someone who actually understands business, the stock market, and Wall Street. How many movies have you seen where the concept of what is and isn't a mutual fund is accurately discussed? Good supporting roles by Jim Backus, John Astin, and many other familiar character actors. An interesting side-note: Garner's character in this film is almost certainly the prototype for Jimmy Joe Meeker, one of Jim Rockford's many aliases in "The Rockford Files".

Summary: Mildly amusing. . .
Comment: In The Wheeler Dealers, Henry Tyroon (James Garner) is a smooth operator, who while looking the part as a Texas businessman, has an Ivy League education. While in New York to line up his next big deal, his fancy is caught by Molly Thatcher (Lee Remick), one of the few business advisors on Wall Street of the feminine persuasion. Molly's superiors want her out of the company, so she's assigned a loser of a stock, to peddle to Tyroon. "Universal Widget" is a company that has gone nowhere for decades, and making a sale to the amorous Tyroon, will be quite a challenge for Molly.

This light comedy is just mildly amusing. Playing an amiable, cowboy type is familiar ground for Garner. Remick is also likeable, as the earnest and semi sophisticated Molly. However passion between them seems to be lacking. The wheeling and dealing aspect is rather tame, and on the silly side as well. The schemes are not particularly humorous, and there isn't much excitement or tension generated. If you see it on the cable schedule, The Wheeler Dealers is worth seeing once. It's a lightweight and harmless comedy, with some attractive stars, and a catchy theme song.

Summary: I love this Oldie but Goodie
Comment: Transplant Texan, Garner, needs money so he goes to the Big Apple to get some. He Meets a female stock broker banging her head on the glass ceiling who thinks he is rich.

This is one of my top 5 Garner movies and this is a movie that is just fun to watch. I love the scene at the restuarant with the steak. Crunch Crunch. My complements to the chef.

A sort of IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT meets the TV show McCLOUD movie with good clean Texas fun.
