Screenwriters Valerie Curtin, Barry Levinson, and Robert Klane rightfully reserve the best lines for Moore and sidekick Brooks. Though more than a series of one-liners, Unfaithfully Yours includes enough of those to engrave a few gems upon the memory...

The organization, which runs Bank Hapoalim, the nation's second largest bank, is investigating rumors about Yaacov Levinson, a prominent Labor Party member and the bank's former managing director.

Writer-Director Barry Levinson found saving good humor in this landscape of deferred dreams and encouraged Oscar-worthy performances from Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon and Daniel Stern...
