The American Success Company (1979)
Strange movie - vague summary - possible spoilers
5 January 2000 - 5 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
I saw the American Success Company on cable in the 1982-1983 timeframe. I'm going to give a brief summary as I remember the movie. This may include plot twist spoilers. You are warned.
The way I remember it, the main character works for a large American corporation in Germany. He decides that he is not "man" enough for his job and his wife. I don't remember the specifics about this.
He fakes his own kidnapping where he learns to become a real man. He exercises, he hires a hooker to learn how to make love to a woman, etc.
I don't remember the end of the movie. I quite enjoyed the movie at the time though it was quite odd. I've been curious to watch it again, but have had no success finding it on video.
