Storyline
Featured review
Solid executive suite drama
The team of writer George Kaplan and director Jim Enright turn from comedy to one of those corporate dramas, typified by the great TV classic "Succession", but played straight rather than for black humor.
Inspired casting has class British actress Nici Sterling in the lead role, strong-willed daughter of Wilde Oscar (her real-life husband), intent on carrying on the family business Carstairs Sweets and bringing it to new heights. That she does as the corporation's new COO, aided by Oscar's personal assistant Jonathan Morgan, leading to a marriage and happy ending. They defeat Peter North by cleverly taking over his telecommunications empire as they build a successful conglomerate.
This story of a powerful woman making her way to the top in a male-dominated environment reminded me of Sarah Young's VHS feature series "The Young One", made about five years earlier. Thanks to Nici Sterling, plus Jonathan Morgan's convincing performance with no clowning or his usual seriousness playing a leading man who actually gets the girl, this is a perfect example of a Couples film.
