The American Success Company is a 1980 American film starring Jeff Bridges and directed by William Richert and written by Larry Cohen.
The film was based on an original script by Larry Cohen. At one stage he was going to make it starring Rock Hudson and Vanessa Redgrave but this did not eventuate. Peter Sellers wanted to star for $100,000 but Cohen could not raise finance on his name - this was just prior to the release of The Return of the Pink Panther. Michael Caine came close to starring but eventually Cohen sold the script. Jeff Bridges was cast and the film was shot in Germany. Cohen says Richert changed his script and ruined the movie.
