Other People's Money (1991)

A Wall Street investing mogul has his eyes on a Rhode Island company run by an aging man who refuses to sell it. A battle between them will be fought with a knock-out blonde lawyer (whose mother is the company owner's wife) as the intermediary.

Incredibly smart from the strict Economics angle, perhaps not so much from the mere dramatical one (the seduction play between Lawrence and Kate is a contrived and not very believable narrative add-on). Still, an interesting film. Similarly themed ones: Wall Street (1987), Ruthless (1948), and, very marginally, In This Our Life (1942).

Rating: 55
