English Title: Playing 'In the Company of Men'.
Synopsis: The adopted son of an arms manufacturer schemes to gain control of his father's company.
Appraisal: Honestly, this film is an error on top of another. The basic text, which is based on a play, does not seem interesting enough, filmically anyway, and it gets even worse with the 'creative contributions' by the filmmaker(s). The Ophelia subplot was absolutely uncalled for. The pop soundtrack was always a nuisance. The rehearsal scenes do not add to the movie either.
Having said all that, I must admit that the film has some watchable parts, because the actors are good and well directed, particularly near the end.
