A nice parable about big business and the working man
10 January 2002
Seeing that this was adapted from a story by Paddy Chayefsky, I expected a little more venom. But I guess this is before Chayefsky started sharpening his pen. At the end of the film when a good jab at big business could be given, all we get was something along the lines of make sure you enjoy your work. It didn't quite convince my wife as she was rooting for Monty Woolley to do the opposite. Woolley does a splendid job as John Hodges but truth be told, he played these type of characters many times before. Also notable is Marilyn Monroe in a small role but already stealing her every scene.
