While some Board members politic for Loren Shaw, the skilled, if not slick, businessman. In the other corner, those in support of Don Walling duke it out. He's a talented engineer with a love for the corporation's product line. Based on a Cameron Hawley novel, this film the inspiration for a 1970's TV series.

Rating : - One of the best movies ever about the corporate world
I had seen this movie 15 years ago and could not wait to get it when it came on DVD. It is amazing to think that this movie is 55 years old and yet most of the dialogs and the themes in this movie are still very up to date.

The film feature a very prestigious cast including William Holden, one of my favorite actors of all times and the so talented Fredric March who plays the greedy executive here in a breathtaking performance.

The Director Robert Wise has directed very different movies ranging from "the Sound of Music" to "Star TreK' !!!
this one is not that famous but should not be missed.
