I find some of the comments to be quite hilarious - especially the analysis by one over-eager fan. Symbolism, symbolism, symbolism! Yikes. I understand the reasoning, I just find it extreme.
Numerous unnecessary scenes. Bland supporting performances by most, although Roger Carmel chews the scenery. His second secretary - the lover of all things culturally Hispanic - is presented as too much of a dimwit.
It is ludicrous how everyone in Ernie's life just suddenly dumps on him. It became comical, and therefore losing any impact of a supposed analogy to the dreams/rewards expected by Mid-Century middle class Americans.
Overall, one to skip. (Yes, I do appreciate the soundtrack.)
