Where the Money Is
Description: Carol Ann (Linda Fiorentino) and Wayne McKay (Dermot Mulroney) are high school sweethearts who married and continue to live happily in their small Pacific Northwest hometown. Carol works contentedly at a nursing home, but when a new patient is delivered, her comfortable life is turned upside down. The patient, Henry (Paul Newman), is a famous bank robber who has been left incapacitated by a stroke. Carol isn't convinced of this, however. After she takes Henry out for a picnic, she boldly attempts to discover the truth. Luckily, for her sake, she was right. Henry has mastered the art of mind control and has been waiting for the opportune time to reunite with his money and flee the country. Rather than expose him, Carol uses this information to blackmail him into teaching her the craft, at which point she, Wayne, and Henry will pull off a heist of their own. As the plot unfolds, loose strings threaten to trip up their seemingly foolproof plan. Reviews Chicago Sun-Times 04/14/2000 "...It's about acting. It's about how Paul Newman at 75 is still cool, sleek and utterly self-confident..."Los Angeles Times 04/14/2000 "...Newman, Fiorentino and Mulroney are all consistently sharp..."Box Office 05/01/2000 "...A clever caper....Newman charms his way through the heist and, indeed, the whole film. He and Fiorentino share an undeniable onscreen chemistry..."Sight and Sound 11/01/2000 "...The film affords a fine late opportunity for Paul Newman to exert blue-eyed charisma and gravelly charm..."Total Film 10/01/2000 "...Newman is a walking, talking lump of star power..." Synopsis A lighthearted caper comedy that relies more on witty dialogue and solid acting than bang-for-your-buck action, WHERE THE MONEY IS contains another memorable performance from Paul Newman, who proves that at 75 he hasn't lost a step. He plays Henry, a career criminal who fakes a stroke in order to escape from prison. He lands at a quiet nursing home, where Carol Ann McKay catches on to his devious ways. Considering this a perfect opportunity to spice up her mundane life, she convinces him to aid her and her husband in an armored car heist. The results are less than perfect.
