Subject: Teflon comes to Mortgageville

Average film about Mortgage brokers doesnt really pick up until 1/4 of the way through, until we meet George Chandler, Stock Broker In Your Community, who seems to be EveryMan central. Sounding a lot like Ronald Reagan, Chandler knows everyone, approves everyone's loan, and just oozes slime.
