***This is an actor's film. But it also shows the determination of "newcomers" to make it here. Such as the "colonel" working menial jobs to amass capital for investment.Well, I don't see it that way. The colonel's family landed in the US with about $280,000 in their pocket. However, he was absolutely determined to keep the appearance, so he rented a $3000 month apartment. As result, their savings were disappearing quickly, and by the time of the story he had about $48,000 left - hardly a good role model for the newcomers... the rest was spent on expensive apartment, fine cloth, etc.
To him the house represented the salvation from the sure disaster, but the disaster HE had created, as without a quick money he would be completely broke in just a few more months - and that explains the tenacious grip he had on the property. He was fighting for much more than just a quick profit.
The man was driven by the need to be "accepted" - he had strong psychological problem, he was not a free man.
