Saw this as a play in SFO and it was just as engaging as the film. Mamet sure knows his way around biting dialogue. As Ricky Roma says, ""have you ever taken a dump that made you feel like you slept for a year"" !
If you’ve never done sales wether professional or personal… and worked for a cut throat corporate company, you have no idea what’s going on in this scene for the end of month sales quota.. if you have, that is, worked as a professional sales person, be it Big Corporate or the fringe like MLM, then this scene is uncomfortably personal and real… fk this commentary, he’s never played the game before in his life.
I read that Pacino and Lemon were the first two chosen by the producers. And they actually came in and read for the other parts to be cast...unheard of for actors of that caliber to do that.
As a straight commission salesman for 30 years, I can tell you there were days I’d sit in my office crying because the rent was due the next day. These are real emotions folks.
One of the greatest movies made in the last 50 years. And the acting? Don't go there because it is literally the best you will ever see on screen. Mamet is a genius, like Tarantino.

lemmon, pacino, harris, spacey all at the top of their game. what a film!
A classic
yikessssss
Arkin, Baldwin and Pryce too.
ya, telemarketing, just wish they made tv money.
This is a total desert-island movie for me. Truly one of the finest English-language films ever made.
Probably more anglo-saxon!!
Truth.
@keyboarddancers7751 FACTS!
@@keyboarddancers7751 And, your point??
*@candelise* I'm commenting on the 'robust' nature of the script
Lemmon's work here made me go back and see all his work.
Don't ever open your mouth 'till you know what the shot is.
who ever told you that you could work with men??
" Coffee is for closers."
I studied this film in college screenwriting. Fascinating.
Its one of my top films along with Down By Law and Blood Simple. Genius
One of my all time favourites
Tough choosing clips from this masterpiece that don't have f-bombs.
I read that Lemon and some of the other actors referred to this screen play as, "Death of an "effen" salesman." 😄 So true.

Acting masterclass from the best, at the top of their game. Pacino, Lemon and Baldwin particularly. Brilliant.
Every single actor in this is absolutely top-notch performing it is one of the great movies of all time
One of the best movies about sales

“Harriet and Blah-Blah Nyborg”
Possibly the best movie ever.
Yes!
Along with Down By Law, Blood Simple , Breaker Breaker, and Stalker
If you've never seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it.
You left out Alan Arkin. Ever watch WAIT UNTIL DARK?
you don't censor al pacino!
One of the Best..
what's your name?

Tarantino is a hack
A.I.D.A.!!!!!!!
I think lemmon stole this movie
I think that Baldwin stole this movie - he is so dreadful.
Unbelievably good movie - scandalously (stupidly) ignored by the Oscar committee....
Why do they say "drab Office"...i think it's a good office to work out of!!
@SJamesGray Put the coffee down! Coffee is for closers...

The machine's wife is off camera.

its not the number that counts, it's the quality, same with the movie :)
A film with no women is fine by me

Leftist review.
Leftist play/movie.
"I used to be a salesman, it's a tough racket"
