Tucker: the Man and His Dream
3,320
Drama
Based on a true story. Shortly after World War II, Preston Tucker is a grandiose schemer with a new dream, to produce the best cars ever made. With the assistance of Abe Karatz and some impressive salesmanship on his own part, he obtains funding and begins to build his factory. The whole movie also has many parallels with director Coppola's own efforts to build a new movie studio of his own.

"Tucker is the best Capra movie since Capra quit making them himself." | ||||
"Francis Coppola's stylish and heartfelt tribute to the innovative automobile designer Preston Thomas Tucker turns out to be one of his most personal and successful movies" | ||||
"Tucker represents the sunniest imaginable telling of an at least partly tragic episode in recent history" | ||||
"A revealing and heartfelt biopic that follows what happens when the American Dream fails to materialise into reality (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | ||||
"Mr. Coppola has done things this fancily before, but never with so clear and moving a sense of purpose." |
