While he smashes the furniture of his office with an ax, Andrew Quint, previously successful commercial film director, announces that he wants to change his life. This previous life consisted of wife and child, from whom he lives separately, of success and sports cars, of the actresses and mannequins of his advertising films, which he made his lovers all around, of too great a dependency on his boss Jonathan Lute, of his grip he wants to break away. Quint now wants to return to the editorial team of the magazine that he had helped to set up earlier. There he gets to know Georgina Elben, with whom he seems to more than get along. But the magazine is doing badly financially. Jonathan Lute takes advantage of this to buy them up in order to force Quint back into the old relationship of dependency.

Quint is making one last commercial. What does it help if he basically wants to expose the advertising industry, deal a vengeful blow? The film was good and soon even won an award. But Quint throws the trophy into the water; The old bustle and arrogance are over. The relationship with Jonathan Lute also finally breaks. Georgina dies in an accident. The end of the film shows Quint back with his wife.

Reviews

The Protestant film observer does not have a particularly good opinion of the work: “A successful English advertising film director wants to change his life. The film shows what has happened so far in a rather clichéd way, the question of what comes next is posed by the title, the film does not answer it. Except for one important and impressive sequence in terms of content and scenery - an advertising film - a rather confused concept. ”The lexicon of international films, on the other hand, comes to a completely different assessment:“ A fast-paced action adventure that emerges from the contrast between happy anarchism and the constraints of one of Money and sex reigned supreme in the business world and comedic sparks sparked. ”The Wiesbaden state film evaluation agency awarded the work the title“ Valuable ”.
