7/10
Excellent period piece, but also relates to today
3 September 2017
This was the original "Mad Men". The sets are mid-century modern, the entire visual experience is fascinating. The script was well-written and both Peck and March were terrific. I found some of the flashback scenes somewhat long, but they are important to the story. Toward the end Jennifer Jones (Peck's wife) gets overly dramatic, and the background music is way over the top, but typical for movies of this era. In the end, this movie is about the work/life balance and the expectations that come from that. And that is why it is still relevant today.
