Uncle Joe McTeague (Kirk Douglas) is a cantankerous, contemptible old man but he's filthy rich. In fact, Joe's so wealthy that his nieces and nephews, the only kin he's got, have been indulging and obliging the miserable geezer for years in hopes of inheriting his money. When Joe finds a barely post-pubescent English tart (Olivia d'Abo) to cater to his every whim, the family goes bonkers, fearing they'll lose all the money to the young stranger. But they come together instead and formulate Plan B. This leads the family to bowling failure Daniel McTeague (Micheal J. Fox), a good-hearted, socially conscious relative even old uncle Joe won't refuse. [More]

Reviews for Greedy
Show how the unrestrained pursuit of greed makes people poor in spirit
One of those "breathless ensemble farces" that I always seem to like. (See also: "Clue" & "Noises Off")
