Most won't get this one. It's a relatively obscure movie from 1986 called Head Office with a really, really long card of recognizable actors. Eddy Albert, of all people, kind of steals the show. The whole thing is a send up of big business in the Reagan eighties. An eighties version of the sixties farce movie. As such the story goes off the rails toward the end (like so many movies have). Shakespeare it's not. But it's a lot of fun to watch. Here's about a 10 minute cut from you tube that includes a board meeting (starting at :44 seconds) where they discuss selling fighter planes to potentially warring, rich African tribes. If you've ever seen it, you'll likely remember this one.
