Quackser Fortune (Gene Wilder) is a carefree fertilizer merchant in Dublin. Something of a local "character," Quackser becomes the object of fascination for wealthy American visitor Zazel Pierce (Marg... read more read more...ot Kidder). At first, the radical differences in their stations in life make little difference to Quackser and Zazel, but before long she grows bored by his eccentricities. Humiliated by Zazel's rich friends at a fancy dress ball, Quackser retreats to his old vocation of following the horses to gather his "wares." When his cousin in the Bronx passes away and leaves him a small inheritance, Quackser leaves Dublin, holding out hopes that now he will be an acceptable mate for Zazel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    This is one of those love stories with strange, yet realistic characters, Wilder's character, Quackser sells manure and he falls in love with a college student. I didn't know what I was getting into with this movie, and I found the beginning kinda boring and weird, but when I go... read moret to know Quackser better, I could relate to his problems. The ending wasn't what I expected, and it was a bit disappointing, but on the other hand it's just as quirky as the rest of the movie. Overall, it's a pretty good romantic comedy, but it could have been funnier.

    I love it, and certainly rate it higher than it deserves. Quirky and (at least in my opinion) in many ways Annie Hall-like.
