Utilities (film)

Utilities is a 1983 film comedy starring Robert Hays and Brooke Adams. It was directed by Harvey Hart.

When the phone company is hit, it issues a public statement denying that, due to the sabotage to its billing records, long distance calls can be made without a charge. Promptly, the movie depicts people making outrageous use of long distance, which in 1981 was still quite expensive. One girl calls overseas and plays a musical composition over the phone.In a long, climactic courtroom hearing, a ratehike proposal by Kenneth Knight and his utility company, Eastern Gas amp Electric, is to be voted on by a public commission. But first a number of protesting citizens are given an opportunity to speak, followed by Hunt, who confesses I am The Finger. At that point, many others in the courtroom, Spartacusstyle, rise to claim they are The Finger. ........
