With recent revelations about the birth of Joe Camel, the broadcast of this savvy comedy of business manners, about the takeover of RJR Nabisco, is fortuitously timed. You get Jim Garner and Jonathan Pryce (not to mention Fred Thompson). You laugh. You learn a little something. Sure, you can rent it, but CP says be on hand at eight for this dream marriage of news and moviedom...
