While the movie is well done and well researched, it is too lily-White and wasp.
One of the best films about how people made out with the events of the stock market crash of 1929. David Ogden Steirs and Richard Crenna give excellent portrayals of Durant and Livermore.
"GREED IS GOOD" says "Gordon Gecko" (Michael Douglas, in his Oscar winning role in WALL STREET). From what I understand the speech was an attempt to paper over a massive character flaw by making it a type of mantra.
It has been some time since I saw the movie, trying to find it somewhere... it gives a very good idea of how dirty a game can be played to the costs of many...
