I have probably seen the movie Wall Street 50 times -- I like it very much...at the least first half (the second half is pretty depressing).
Anyway, perhaps because I have become more sensitive to certain ideas, I noticed something pretty interesting during my most recent viewing. You may recall the character Lou Mannheim (Hal Holbrook) -- he is functionally the voice of reason and Bud Fox's conscience in the movie. Well, below is his first line when he gets introduced to the audience:
"...country's going to hell faster than when that son of a bitch Roosevelt was around. Too much cheap money sloshing around the world. The biggest mistake we ever made was letting Nixon get off the gold standard..."
