What The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit Is About
Nunnally Johnson's 1956 film is adapted from Sloan Wilson's novel and is about the postwar American middle class. Tom Rath is a suburban father whose wife wants him to find better paid work, and he takes a public relations job at a television company. But his years in the Second World War will not let him go: there are the men he killed, a relationship in Italy and a son he has never seen. The film is about the silence of the generation that came back from the war and treats it, unusually for the period, as a matter of guilt. A second line concerns the cost of rising in business, with the boss having lost his own family standing as a warning to Tom. It is long and slow. Who it's for: viewers who like American drama of the fifties and postwar narratives. Who it's not for: anyone wanting a brisk story; the film runs past two and a half hours.
