Additional Information
Meet Henderson Dores. He's hustled by hicks, hounded by hoods and carried away by the American dream.
Though a fine cast was assembled for this comedy, none can save this embarrassingly humorless satire. Henderson Dores (Daniel-Day Lewis) is a very proper British art expert sent to rural Georgia by his boss to purchase a painting by Renoir. The present owner, hillbilly Loomis Gage (Harry Dean Stanton), claims he bought the painting for $500 in France in 1946. Dores offers $10 million, but Gage's scheming son Freeborn (Maury Chaykin) has made a deal with a rival art dealer for $15 million. Steven Wright plays Dores' business rival Pruitt with his typical deadpan charm, and Joan Cusack and Laurie Metcalf provide romantic interest. Tea and crumpets collide with moonshine and cornbread in this feature, but the results are unpalatable.
Stars and Bars is an American comedy film released in 1988, directed by Pat O'Connor and based on a book by William Boyd.[1] The film stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Henderson Dores.
Release Date: March 18, 1988
