In the late 70s, MGM created a night time soap opera based on the book/movie. It lasted one season...it was clobbered in the ratings by The Rockford Files.
Interesting. I missed it....clearly on Team Rockford at the time.

She's run out of patience.

Yay for Shelley! I loved seeing her stand up for herself. Eventually, Douglas will divorce his wife and ask Shelley to marry him - at least that's what I think will happen as those two really love each other.

I'm sorry did I miss something....
Nobody's father spent time with them in the 50s. Julia is being a bit OTT on this front.
Was her earlier breakdown just from her father's death and not being able to handle the company?

Shaw didn't want to win via larceny but he will rush votes through....guess one tactic is illegal and one isn't. What a quiet cut-throat.

They're scummy, but they protect their flanks very well. They use every footnote in every legal doc they can to advance what they want. They are had to stop.

I worked with one who loved to say It is easier to beg forgiveness afterwards than to ask permission beforehand - this was on Bay Street. I felt a bit dizzy and ill after that confession.

Shaw's speech explains exactly why he shouldn't be president. He's an excellent CFO (what he'd be today), but doesn't have it to be president.
