[Vo]:"The Water Engine" (play and movie)

[Jed Rothwell]

"The Water Engine" is a play by David Mamet. It was made into a movie 
in 1992. I have never heard of it before now. Here is a synopsis from 
Amazon.com:

"In the 1930s, Charles Lang invents an engine that runs using water 
for fuel. But when he tries to get it patented, he is first offered a 
ridiculously low amount. When he refuses, he is suddenly several 
people are pressuring him to sell. The big oil companies don't want 
the competition. Now he has to try and keep them from getting his 
idea, and somehow get it published."
