In a time when Hollywood can't seem to come up with anything, but rehashes trash that was trash before it was rehashed. Along comes a short story and some creative direction. If it had a bigger budget I think it could have hit 11 or 12. We had to track this one down and buy it, one of the rare gems...just open your mind to the unorthodox and enjoy Of course if you don't like ti your probably a republican. You can tell the difference between a novel adapted from a short story and one that has been created in committee in some room where people have degrees in accounting and couldn't be creative unless they're preparing something for the IRS. Edward James Olmos steals the show with an outstanding performance, I never saw him coming, the ending is so un-Hollywood as is the pace and creative direction this very low budget film went.just kidding....kinda

i wasn't sure what to expect of this film when i started watching it, but it turned out to be a truly wonderful experience, so much so that years after i have seen it i still haven't forgotten it! (and how many people can say that about a film?). the story is: a man can't afford to purchase a suit for himself, so a group of men pool their money together to buy the suit and share it. what ensues? hilarity and solemn moments as they each take turns in wearing the suit. with great lighting effects and actors 'suited' for the roles, this is a 'wonderful' film, and i can't do it justice by explaining it, just watch it for yourself!!

This is a wonderful Ray Bradbury story. Four men who believe a special suit will change their lives, set upon a plan to purchase said suit, and it does. But is it because of the suit or because they mustered the courage to believe that the change was possible. The fifth man wonderfully played by Edward James Almos is content as he is but gets sucked into the plan and ends up changing in spite of himself. Sid Ceasar and Howard Morris, two fine actors from the golden age television play the shop owners who sell them the suit. Gregory Sierra is too fine for words. Joe Montagna is wonderful in this. Clifton Collings is adorable. And Esai Morales.......you have to rent "The Disappearance of Garcia Lorca" another fine work with Esai. One critique. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed that there is no sound track for this or DVD. The opening song done in English and Spanish is a very fine piece and the songs sung my Esai Morales are very much worthy of a soundtrack. Someone really goofed on that one.

Again a wonderful ensemble of actors. Ray Bradbury fans will love this movie. The soundtrack is most excellent. Each of the main characters has their own particular charm and failing. Their chaotic search of a better life bring them together in a most unusual way.
