1956 Dramatic Classic
Oldie Movie DVD Digitally Mastered from Archival Prints
Gregory Peck & Jennifer Jones in
"The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit"
Winner of Cannes Film Festival OCIC Award
Starring: Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones, Fredric March
Tom (Gregory Peck) and Betsy Rath (Jennifer Jones) live in a rundown house in Southport, Connecticut around 1953. They have three TV-addicted kids and have money problems. Tom is 33 years old, a Harvard graduate. He barely survived as an Army paratroop officer during World War II, having fought in both the European and Pacific combat theaters (an unlikely scenario, but it sets the stage for his wartime love affair).
Tom has haunting flashbacks of the affair as well as his combat experiences — clearly the stuff of PTSD, as it is recognized today. He killed 17 men in combat. His stay-at-home wife only knows Tom is somehow "changed" since the war. She feels his job with a Manhattan charitable organization pays too little, so she and a fellow train commuter urge him to interview for a job at a New York-based television network.
Tom lands a public relations job for Ralph Hopkins, the top man at the network, an empire-builder surrounded by politicking yes-men. Hopkins is to propose the establishment of national mental health services to a group of physicians and offer his own prestige and network toward that end. Tom must solve how his boss can best present the proposal so that the learned doctors will rise in unison and appoint Hopkins to spearhead the campaign.
Hired on a six-month probationary basis, Tom reports to a humorless game-player who rejects five different drafts of the speech and ends up substituting one of his own. Hopkins is satisfied, but Tom persuades him that the approach is all wrong, that it misrepresents Hopkins' qualifications to head the campaign. Tom's approach is much more sensible. Hopkins is impressed. Tom reminds him of his own son, who was killed in combat...
