THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT
August 15, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 9:45 p.m. ET

 

Nunnally Johnson both directed and wrote the screenplay adaptation for this 1956 movie, which can almost be considered a Mad Man prequel. It’s about a WWII veteran who gets a demanding job doing public relations for a TV network – then has second thoughts about whether all that work, and all that commuting and corporate intrigue and such, is worth it. Gregory Peck stars, along with Jennifer Jones and Fredric March.
