Sustaining a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict is tantamount to directing a verdict at the close of all the evidence. Commerce Bank of Lebanon, N.A. v. Berry, 692 S.W.2d 830 (Mo.App.1985). Such a motion is properly granted only if plaintiff failed to make a submissi-ble case, that is, when all the evidence and reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom are so strongly against plaintiff’s case that there is no room for reasonable minds to differ. McCulley v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 668 S.W.2d 121 (Mo.App.1984); Bizzle v. Enterprise Leasing, 741 S.W.2d 84 (Mo.App.1987). The court must grant every reasonable inference the evidence provides to the appellants. Commerce Bank of Lebanon, N.A., 692 S.W.2d at 831.
