The Foster Portfolio

I 've loved this Vonnegut story ever since I first read it way back in the Jurassic Era of the late 60s / early 70s. And now it's been made into a wonderful gem of a film.


Based on the original short story by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., The Foster Portfolio is an offbeat, mid-century tale about a rookie investment counselor who discovers that his penniless client is hiding a million-dollar inheritance in order to conceal a strange, double life.
