The road to the Dude is paved with Success. By success, we mean the $hit that came before it. In a movie Jeff Bridges wishes Amazon hadn’t added to Prime Video.
A meek husband turns into a tough guy and studies sex in order to succeed in business, impress his tycoon father and improve his marriage.
The American Success Company is a 1980 American film directed by William Richert and starring Jeff Bridges. It was written by Larry Cohen. Re-edited versions of the film have appeared under the titles American Success, Success, The Ringer, and Good as Gold.
Harry Flowers (Bridges) is routinely humiliated both at home and at work (the German offices of an American credit card company). Fed up, he hires prostitute Corinne (Bianca Jagger) to help him gain revenge on his quirky wife Sarah (Belinda Bauer) and her father/his boss, the overbearing Mr. Elliott (Ned Beatty) — all while enriching himself financially.
