wife-who-tries
by Dana L. Packman (USA)
It is too bad this car never made it. America could use such a reliable vehicle today.
5/5
awesome movie!!
by D. Walker (Charleston, WV USA)
this is the best movie ever in my opinion. not only does it show the history of the tucker automobile but it also shows how it would have been if you came up with a new idea and what would happen to it. Also in the movie you will see saftey features and things on the 1948 tucker car that are just now in 2009 appearing on cars. again awesome movie!
5/5
Tucker
by Robert A. Crigger (Aurora, Co, USA)
I saw this movie before, but wanted a better copy. Tucker was larger than life and exactly what a dreamer should be. The movie shows how bad corporate America is, but never takes away from the man and his dreams.
One man was squashed by the big car companies, but he forced them to change their cars forever. Before this man who would have thought about seat belts, safety glass, padded dashboards, and four wheel independent suspension? Now you won't find a car without those things.
5/5
Tucker the man and his dream
by Carl I. Cordingley
Very good movie. Shows the real life side of a dream or idea. Things haven't changed much as it would be the same today.
4/5
DVD aspect ratio
by John Sunyak (Brooklyn)
As noted from the Cinema Laser website, although filmed in a 2:35 aspect ratio, the dvd version is closer to a 1:77 aspect ratio which is fine. Very good film and excellent video quality.
Tucker: The Man and His Dream Summary
Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2009 Run Time: 110 Minutes Rating: Pg
Director Francis Ford Coppola and executive producer George Lucas shared a strong desire to film the story of Preston Tucker, the man who revolutionized car design in the late 1940s, only to have his innovation squelched by the "big three" automakers in a legal battle between Tucker and powerful political lobbies. Coppola surely related to and sympathized with Tucker as a visionary underdog, and so this stylish, energetic film envisions "the man and his dream" in idealistic terms--an unabashed optimist (played by Jeff Bridges) who realizes his vision through blind faith and tenacity. Martin Landau gives a superb, heartbreaking performance as an associate who desperately wants to share Tucker's enthusiasm, but knows that corporate wolves are knocking at the door and will soon burst in with fangs bared. Joan Allen is equally good as Tucker's supportive wife, and the film's combination of dazzling costumes, production design, and the fabulous Tucker itself (of which only 50 models were made) creates an infectious atmosphere of postwar optimism. In the end, however, this fascinating film is much like Coppola himself: possessed of genius, blinded by ambition, and prone to create works of erratic brilliance. Don't take that as criticism, however; this is a sharp, underrated film about a dreamer whose dream was a worthy one, even if it only briefly came true.
