Executive Suite
Capsule by Pat Graham
From the Chicago Reader

Robert Wise's 1954 boardroom drama winds up disingenuously pulling most of its corporate punches, but it was still the pioneering effort in a genre that's long since gone out of fashion. The president of a large company dies, and a struggle for corporate control ensues. With Fredric March, William Holden, June Allyson, Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters, Louis Calhern, and Nina Foch--the kind of heavy-artillery cast that always spelled Hollywood compromise. --Pat Graham
