Gregory Peck, Frederick March, Jennifer Jones
A-list production from 1956. With its wide-screen technicolor look it came across as an update on the same issues William Wyler dealt with in The Best Years of our Lives...how a traumatized war veteran makes the transition back to ordinary life.
Peck plays a man starting a new job on Madison Avenue whilst trying to maintain his sense of honor and integrity...not an easy task. We watch him wrestling with some difficult issues...some common, some not. Peck was a little stiff (duh) but brought his trademark gravitas to the role. Lavish production, a bit dated but still involving.
Stands up better than most films from that era.
