"Tucker: The Man& His Dream”


1988. On this very day the biopic "Tucker: The Man & His Dream", which was censoriously greeted by Francis F. Coppola, premieres in the movie-theaters across the US. Jeff Bridges acts a part of the main character Preston Tucker who shook up Detroit of the 40s with his sleek and affordable a so-called "Car of Tomorrow" as a impudent businessman-turned-car-designer from Chicago.
