Trader Gekko lives by the philosophy "Greed is good" and destroys a few vulnerable souls on his rise to the top in this modern morality tale. It touched a nerve with audiences in the 80s and is still powerful today. Martin Sheen and Darryl Hannah apprar alongside Douglas.

Together with Lori Singer he sets out to challenge the ban and face the wrath of hellfire minister John Lithgow. It has a daft plot but this is one film which gets by on sheer energy alone. Bacon displays plenty of charisma and the theme tune went on to become a huge hit. TV Choice 593 Biz 566 TV Review 595 TV&Radio 600 News 101 Front Page 100 TV Review Showbiz Movies NWestTV
