...Gilbert, 56, the stepson of co-founder Harold Stanley, and President Richard Fisher, 53, Morgan hedged its bets by diversifying into many different fields rather than putting all its money into one or two fashionable trends. At the same time, top investment banker Robert Greenhill expanded Morgan's global reach. The firm is now engaged in businesses ranging from foreign-exchange trading in London to mergermaking in Tokyo...

...production highlights are the costumes and backdrops. Craig Sonnenberg let his imagination go wild with the costumes for both eras. The Claflin brothers, for instance, sport powder-blue polyester pants suits with collars that reach the shoulders and mustard-yellow hip-hugging bell-bottoms with hideous shirts open to the waste. All the '70s outfits are finished off with perfectly garish accessories and amazingly high and ugly platform shoes (including an incredible pair of ruby platform sandals for Belle-turned-Dorothy...
