SYNOPSIS:Vic Norman is an advertising executive, a snappily suited huckster who dreams up ways of singing his clients’ praises and selling their wares. Principles? That’s something the ad biz isn’t selling this year.
Clark Gable portrays Norman, struggling to preserve his integrity while hustling to serve the whims and demands of a deep-pocketed client (Sydney Greenstreet) who, noted the New York Herald Tribune, “thinks of America as a blank space between New York and Hollywood where people buy soap.” Deborah Kerr (“rhymes with star” said the film’s publicity) and Ava Gardner join in an often funny look at Madison Avenue. Gable, Kerr, Gardner, Greenstreet: If they’re selling, we’re buying!

 | HeathCliff | | One of the best films of the '40s. A definitive Clark Gable post-war film. If you've been iffy about Gable, this movie is the antidote. He's more real, complex, nuanced than his bravado younger perfs. Deborah Kerr is understandably memorable in her debut American film as the classy war widow. A GREAT script about the ad business in radio. Interesting story, characters, situations. One of the best post war American films that finally were growing up with adult stories, characters, themes. |
