MCT:January 9, 2008This is a classic film that hardly anybody knows about (like most classic films nowadays.)
Gregory Peck stars as a family man whose luck is down despite having a loveley wife and three incredibly loving children. Their middle-class lifestyle is becoming stifling in the years following WWII, and his wife's pressure for having "more" is making him eager for a change.
What follows is a series of hurdles that Gregory must pass in order to become fulfilled. He begins work as a public relations executive for a New York television network. His ideas a fresh and innovative and catch the attention of the station's owner and head honcho--a merciless, yet somehow kind-hearted--Fredric March.
Peck ideals are put to the test as he must soon choose between his opportunities for advancement at work and his opportunities for a normal life at home.
Thrown in here is a subplot of Peck's tortured past as a WWII vet. His night of passion with an Italian beauty and the resulting child that would later come to haunt him and his marriage. His choices aren't easy ones, but this movie has so much heart and style that it makes everything seem so easy compared to problems we deal with today.
Definitely watch this if you're a Peck fan. And it's worthy of your time if you like classic movies in general. -

Most of the piece is shrink wrapped in a thick layer of melodrama and an alien "formal address" demeanor typical of the era's classics. The score is downright distracting. But, underneath it all, some humanity shows. Not much, but apparently just enough to leave me with a warm aftertaste. Much to my own surprise.

MCT:December 2, 2007A spectacular social commentary that defines a time and place without fitting into the restriction of its artistic mold. Gregory Peck delivers a phenomenal everyman portrayal, and the story rings true even today. Fantastically acted all around, gorgeously shot and directed with a keen focus on detail.

Peck handled his business well in this movie. I loved the part where he told one of his superiors at his job off.
