It's been a long time since I've seen it, but it was a frequent watch for me back in the 90's.

I'm now craving a broiled hothouse tomato under a generous slice of ripe cheese...

#TheGrifters came out after a (not "the) #SavingsAndLoan (manufactured) crisis and used that indirectly in its depiction of greed and the "conned".

It's relevant in this world of #BernieMadoff, #crypto and #NFT's, #Enron, #StockMarkets, #TooBigToFail, all the other cons and con artists we know and acknowledge as such, and all those very many others that are still considered legitimate.

As history proves, the bigger the con, the more people believe and want to get taken...
