Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)

"Glengarry Glen Ross" follows in the footsteps of its politically controversial precedents, "Salesman", and "Death of a Salesman", as a tale that exposes, exploits, and analyzes the precarious position of a commission driven salesman. As the film quickly reveals, four desperate men will do almost anything to get their hands on the latest promising 'leads', the Glengarry Leads, that will almost certainly result in closed deals and ample commission for all. But with a hard-ass hotshot novice representative coming down on the salesmen's superior, the only thing the inept four are left with are a bunch of crap opportunities while the tempting Glengarry leads threaten to slip out of their hold. Over the course of one dark and stormy night each man will contemplate his own destiny and calculate the price tag necessary to completely abandon their already fragile moral platitudes.

The cast includes: Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris, and Kevin Spacey.

Written by: David Mamet (play and screenplay).

Directed by: James Foley.
