You're absolutely right. No one should have to check out in that fashion.
My father loved Wall Street; thought it was a marvelously directed film wherein Douglas stole the show. Me, I always think of The Streets of San Francisco (A Quinn Martin production), that had him running around a much different Bay Area city, with Karl Malden, than the one we all know today.
I suppose I'm really dating myself. That series was very much a part of my childhood.
