Executive Suite (1954)

Executive Suite (1954)

A very good behind the scenes look at the corporate board room (of a furniture producer) and the decision making process when a company’s "close to the vest" chairman dies suddenly without a succession plan in place. The inevitable back-stabbing and politicking are played brilliantly by William Holden (the up and coming executive) Frederic March (the penny pinching accountant-type executive) Walter Pidgeon (solid though a non-leader) Paul Douglas (the salesman) Louis Calhern Dean Jagger (the manufacturing executive) and Nina Foch (nominated for a Supporting Actress Oscar) as the executive secretary. Also with June Allyson (Holden’s wife) and Barbara Stanwyck (the main stockholder daughter of the company’s founder & former mistress of the dead chairman). Directed by Robert Wise and featuring Ernest Lehman’s very first screenplay.
