"They have done a masterful job so far," says Stephen Roach, a Morgan Stanley economist. "Unfortunately, in financial markets you are only as good as your last move. If Greenspan's legacy is a stock-market bubble, he will not be treated kindly by history...

This retro comedy, cannily written by The Commitments' Ian La Frenais and Dick Clement, gives such fine British actors as Bill Nighy, Stephen Rea, Jimmy Nail and Bruce Robinson the chance to strut, scowl, sing some jaunty tunes (by '70s survivors Mick Jones, Steve Dagger and Jeff Lynne) and define what it means to be mates in a middle age the rockers never thought they'd live to see.
