The inventor of an improved form of TV battles crooks and crooked broadcasters to remain alive and remain in control of his invention.
That sounds much more exciting than it is. This is a well made, well acted story that has a weird mix of humor and thrills. You have the crooks trying to steal the invention which is very good, and then you have things like the character of the dopey bill collector who seems to come from a very good broad comedy. The problem is that the two styles don't really blend and you end up with a movie thats neither, as well as being just sort of okay. Its a bland affair that never really held my attention.
Worth trying if you run across it, but probably not worth running out to get.
