It goes without saying that the lead in this film, Dana Andrews will inevitably be compared to Jon Hamm's Donald Draper of Mad Men. I could not help but compare the two while watching this film. The movie is well-written, and the dialogue is crisp. That alone gets it a rating over 5. But I am a sucker for Madison Avenue films like "The Hucksters" with Clark Gable, and the Mad Men series. So this film was a pleasure for me to view.
All the actors in the film do a nice job, with Parker turning in one of her more nuanced performances. I never really cared for Albert, but even he was OK. The film was realistic for almost the entire length of the movie, although it falters a bit. I can recommend it as a sharp, incisive view of the real Madison Avenue.
