About this product
Product Information
Based on the novel by Cameron Hawley, EXECUTIVE SUITE is one of the first films to deal with the corporate rat race and all its power business and politics. After the sudden death of its president, a giant furniture company's board members battle for control. Surveying the candidates for the executive position is Julia Tredway (Barbara Stanwyck), the daughter of the firm's founder, the mistress of the recently deceased company president, and the company's chief stockholder. The candidates are competitive, particularly Loren Shaw (Fredric March), who is so ruthless in his quest to reach the top that he begins to blackmail Josiah Dudley (Paul Douglas) and George Caswell (Louis Calhern) into supporting him. Perhaps the only candidate not actively campaigning is the more honorable McDonald Walling, who simply wants to live a good home life with his wife and child. The drama of EXECUTIVE SUITE unfolds with witty, provocative dialogue and brilliant cinematic intercutting among the many characters, which gives the film action even within the confines of its corporate-office setting. The film has no music score, only the sounds found in the business world--such as the Wall Street clock chimes. Nominated for several Academy Awards, this tightly directed, riveting, and amusing film is considered one of Robert Wise's masterpieces.Product Identifiers

1950's culture and it's struggles from a business perspective.
Great drama in a 1950's setting. In many ways it's not too different from our 2016 lifestyle, but only to say that by 2016 a certain quality of wholesomeness has been diluted. No computers, no cellphones, automobiles with carburetors. I find that it stimulates nostalgic yearnings. Great movie with great actors.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Executive Suite
A classic old film. The characters and situations are so much like the real world - and yet are very engaging. Much better than many modern films. The DVD cut is better than my VHS copy was. I enjoyed the detail that was visible. The lack of blood and profanity was refreshing as well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
