Love $ Greed is a 1991 romantic comedy directed by Bashar Shbib. [1]
Robert and Alexandra have been divorced for some time. They are surprised to find out that Robert's uncle, Leopold, has left them an inheritance of $23 million on one condition: within a year, Robert and Alexandra must have a child. Although they have each remarried, they are drawn together by greed. [2]
Love $ Greed was presented as an official entry at the Montreal World Film Festival competition. [3] This second American production for Bashar Shbib was less appreciated by some Quebec critics than his previous one, Julia Has Two Lovers. [4] [5] Nevertheless, Love $ Greed was still distributed in about fifty countries. [6] Suzan Ayscough in Variety wrote "...a funny movie about lust, love and greed... (Melissa) White is a natural." Héléne de Billy in L'actualité described it as "...une histoire abracadabrante..." (...an abracadabra story...). Writing in La Presse Serge Dussault called it "Du gros rire...” ( Big laughs...). [7]
