3.0 out of 5 stars Alec steals the show as usual, October 21, 2004
By 
Beth "bethiejw2" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Promoter [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Alec Guinness was one of the best actors of his day and this movie displays this well. In this is he plays a dishonest promoter. But his character is likable and not malicious. He starts out at the beginning as a worker at a morgage company and at the end is a mayor. Along the way you see the mischievous ways he builds himself to the top.
Glynis Johns is especially good as a gold digger he meets. His reply to her about her gold digging is very amusing. Other than Alec the second reason I got this was because it stars a very young brunette Petula Clark. Unfortunately her character is under developed.
The Promoter is not in the league of his other movies like Last Holiday and The Ladykillers but it's enjoyable.

This review is from: The Card [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Alec Guiness is an opportunistic young man on his way up in the world. He sets out to make his fortune, by hook or by crook. Rising above his class, he succeeds in a most charming way.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Promoter, May 1, 2010

This review is from: The Card [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"The Card" is the original British title for a film released in the US as "The Promoter"; it is one of Alec Guinness's best performances made during his great British comedy years, the 1950's. Based on a novel by Arnold Bennett entitled "The Card" or "Denry the Audacious" (in the US) it is the story of a young man who finds success and fortune come to a man who makes his own opportunities. For some reason this has not yet been released on DVD (and may never) so I would encourage all Guinness fans to get the videotape.
