Anthony Hopkins is the title character, an Australian consultant to Australian companies with waning profits, called in to help them make the hard calls to turn around their business. His lifeless marriage (and isn't Anthony Hopkins the bard of domestic sterility?) provides an icy contrast to the communal warmth at his new assignment a --- woefully inefficient moccasin factory, filled with affable eccentrics, overseen by a kindly paternal figure of an owner, keeping the place alive long after its time has past.
The film is called Spotswood in its native Austrailia. The plot is similar to, and probably inspired, the later Kinky Boots. Come for glimpses of young Russell Crowe and Toni Collette. Sty to find out why and how this film became a favorite of Rupert Murdoch.
