Oliver Stone: Wall Street (1987)

35mm print (color, sound) 125 min. USA

"Stone’s father, Louis, who worked on Wall Street most of his life, introduced Oliver to "many people of all value systems, creeds, and greeds." The driving force of Wall Street is one of Stone’s most seductive creations—the corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Douglas), a man whose rapaciousness is so smooth and whose ideas so eloquent, that he became, in spite of his heartlessness, an emblem for American business."
