Binx Bolling to dobiegający trzydziestki weteran wojny w Korei. Pochodzi z zamożnej rodziny, w której niestrudzenie odgrywa rolę czarnej owcy. Pracuje jako makler w rodzinnej firmie, zarabia pieniądze, sypia z sekretarkami i namiętnie chodzi do kina.

Let me preface this by saying that I'm quite sure that nothing in this review will come close to equalling the great one Jeffrey Keeten did, which I am purposely not rereading until after I write this, as it will intimidate the heck out of me. A large part of that is that I'm still digesting the boo...
“The fact is I am quite happy in a movie,even a bad movie...What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Wells in the doorway in the Third Man.”Binx Bolling is floating through life.
