Seize The Day
"Williams amazes." -People Magazine
Tommy Wilhelm (Robin Williams) is a salesman. An honest, hard-working guy who has lost his job, his girlfriend and left part of his sanity behind as he heads to New York to pick up the pieces of his life. He's always been able to sell, but caught in a downward spiral, he must face the father who never really understood him while trying to balance his newly precarious existence.
The Los Angeles Herald Examiner calls Saul Bellow "the most honored living American writer," and yet this stands as the only of his works adapted to film.

This was the film where I began to realize that Robin Williams could act. I rented it by mistake many years ago from a really crummy selection of videos at a hardware store. What I saw blew my mind. Here was "Mork" falling apart before my eyes. His twitches and squints conveyed a small man whose life was getting smaller still. No happy ending. Just a real-life look at someone who just wasn't meant to win in this world.
Also look for a Jerry Stiller (Ben's dad) in a pivotol role.
