What will you do if you land a windfall? "I'll buy chewing gum every day!" says a teddy girl in Money, as she revels at the prospect of pocketing a bagful of banknotes that literally fell into her lap. As the plot thickens, an array of characters go to absurd lengths, just to lay hands on the money. While chewing gum is obviously too trivial to arouse people's greed today, the Union Film Enterprise, who made it their calling to educate the audience, delivered a moral statement on dishonest money, in this finely-crafted heist movie.

The Betacam tape used for this screening is a sole copy; the image and sound quality is short of ideal. We appreciate your understanding.
