	Glengarry Glen Ross (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glengarry Glen Ross is the title of a 1992 movie, based on the 1984 Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning play of the same name by David Mamet, who adapted it into a screenplay for the film.
		The film shows parts of two days in the lives of four desperate real estate agents who are prepared to engage in any number of unethical and/or illegal acts (from lies and flattery to bribery, threats and intimidation to burglary) in order to sell undesirable real estate to unwilling prospective buyers ("leads").
		During filming, the movie was jokingly referred to by the actors as "Death of a Fucking Salesman," owing to its salty language.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Glengarry Glen Ross" review
		When a play is adapted to film it is either completely re-written to conform with the unspoken Hollywood style, or altered only slightly in stage direction and other technicalities.
		In the case of "Glengarry Glen Ross", the latter is true, and it didn't work as well as the producers would hope.
		"Glengarry Glen Ross" stays interesting for about 30 minutes because the characters are so real, but the dialogue soon grinds to a halt because of the abrasive way the lines are delivered.

	DVD Review - Glengarry Glen Ross (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		After years of waiting, Artisan Home Entertainment finally delivers "Glengarry Glen Ross" on DVD in a 2-disc set to celebrate the movie’s 10th Anniversary, and to say it’s a great release is in fact an understatement.
		Carefully, the film lets us observe how each of the characters deals with the situation and how frictions, peer pressure, their past and present circumstance shape each one of them into what they are.
		I always find "Glengarry Glen Ross" to be an utterly impressive film that relies solely on the performance of its cast and the filmmakers to drive home a story that is as simple as it is powerful.

		Glengarry Glen Ross is a sort of postmodern Death of a Salesman, in which the Willy Lo-men are not angst-ridden with thoughts of spiritual redemption.
		Because they have already sold their souls for the power of the dollar, for the careers that they willingly place before their lives and families, and for the chance to be bigger than the next guy and to cut that son of a bitch down to size.
		Glengarry Glen Ross (even its title is a cryptic puzzle) pushes that concept to its limit with characters whose very livelihood is based on talking in circles.

		Trivia: During filming, members of the cast who weren't required to be on the set certain days would show up anyway to watch the other actors' performances.
		If you listen to the conversations you will notice that the Glengarry leads are the new leads, the ones given to closers, the leads given to those who go out and squeeze as much money out of people as they can so they don't lose their jobs.
		Glen Ross farms are talked about in a brilliantly written conversation between Ed Harris and Alan Arkin, the one when Harris orders donuts and Arkin keeps repeating back to him what he said.

	IGN: Glengarry Glen Ross Review
		Yes, on the surface Glengarry Glen Ross sounds like a boring, talky tale but the film is revered in acting and directing circles for its masterful pacing, near perfect dialogue, and stark alienating setting.
		Interestingly enough though, the real enjoyment in the film is not from the story or figuring out who roped the leads but in watching the performances from actors at or near the top of their game.
		Since much of the film takes place at night and in a driving rain, the outdoor sequences (as they dash to the bar or restaurant across the street) are immersive.

	I Viddied it on the Screen-Glengarry Glen Ross
		The point that Glengarry Glen Ross is a depressing movie does not seem to have really been brought up, and I not only feel that critics and viewers are sidestepping a major issue that needs to be brought up, I feel that not doing so borders on the inhuman and the inhumane.
		There is romantic irony in that the film is deeply cynical and ends deeply unhappily, arguing that that is the way it goes.
		My embarrassed repulsion of Glengarry Glen Ross then further compounds the sense of failure that the film is compounding in me. It's a new classic, and I am denying it BECAUSE it is effective.

	SparkNotes: Glengarry Glen Ross: Context
		The position was the inspiration for Williamson's job in Glengarry Glen Ross, and the other salesmen Mamet observed in the office would later serve as the basis for the play's other characters.
		Glengarry Glen Ross premiered in London in 1983, and its American premiere followed in Chicago in 1984.
		Of course, this is by no means to say that the film represents a more complete vision—it is, rather, an alternate form, interesting to compare side by side with the text of the play.

		This spartan atmosphere and the film's low-key nature may have kept it from being seen by the moviegoing population at large, but those qualities are also amongst its major strengths.

	Xiibaro Reviews: Orange County, Glengarry Glen Ross, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, and Joe Somebody
		Glengarry Glen Ross begins with a tight close up on the face of the film's most distressed salesman.
		In one of the film's most memorable sequences, Shelley enters the home of a supposedly interested buyer and will not leave when the man at the door makes it quite clear that he is not interested in buying anything.
		As the film ends, with the ironic use of the song "Blue Skies," the audience is left with Levene and Lemmon and the world that has just passed before us.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Glengarry Glen Ross \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		David Mamet's "Glengarry Glen Ross," an adaptation of his award-winning play, boasts a powerhouse cast Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce —; so, it's only natural that the film would be loaded with powerhouse performances.
		From the main office, a brusque, tough-guy executive (Baldwin) sets up the film's premise as he lays out the latest contest — first prize is a Cadillac, second is a set of steak knives and third prize is that everyone else is fired.
		The first half of the film focuses primarily on Levene and the second on Roma, with the rest of the ensemble in support.

	Emanuel Levy : Review - Glengarry Glen Ross
		The film features a new character that was not in the original play: Blake (expertly played by Alec Baldwin), the big boss, whose motto is "ABC--Always Be Closing." Baldwin's one scene, early on in the film, sets the intense tone for the entire narrative.
		Unlike Miller's Death of a Salesman, Glengarry Glen Ross is blessedly unsanctimonious and unsentimental.
		With some luck, the prominence of Glengarry Glen Ross as a play and the commercial appeal of the film may once and for all force us to reevaluate Death of a Salesman's undeserved status as a great American classic, relegating it to perhaps a monument, but one of the distant past.

		Produced onstage in the good times of the 1980s, filmed in the hard times of the 1990s, it shows the new kind of American salesmanship, which is organized around offices and corporations.
		The film was directed by James Foley ("At Close Range"), whose timing and camera help underline the humor; a line of dialogue will end with a reaction shot that mirrors our own reaction - surprised, blind-sided, maybe a little stunned, but entertained by the zing of anger and ego in the words.

	Craig's Movie Club reviews Oliver Stone's JFK and James Foley's Glengarry Glen Ross
		Also, the mix of film types--grainy documentary-like footage, differences in lighting and colored filters mixed with footage from the Zapruder film--was surely a step toward the making of Natural Born Killers a scant few years later.
		I could keep going on but suffice to say that JFK is one of my favorite films and I recommend it highly as entertainment--regardless of what you think about the cause of the assassination.
		Glengarry Glen Ross has one of the best ensemble casts ever assembled, comparable even to that of JFK.

		I first saw this film on the big screen there, must've been 1992 since that's when the film came out.

		Glengarry Glen Ross is mainly composed of a series of one-on-ones between various pairings of the salesmen.

		The film is based on the same-name play written by Mamet and, not surprisingly, this film is adapted by him and directed brilliantly by James Foley.
		It is even filmed in an atmosphere that reeks of the same claustrophobia as the stage, but that does little to affect your enjoyment.
		It is testament to the film that despite these drawbacks it still remains so watchable.

	Salon \| David Mamet
		The film of comedy is such that in every scene, the hero makes a misstep and yet is rescued at the end by the forces of good, or by God, or by a deus ex machina.
		Nonetheless, the American tradition of film overall is that it's a commercial medium.
		The films of William Wyler came out of that and the films of Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick happened in spite of that.

		GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS (R), the corrosively funny film version of David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, is about a Chicago real estate office full of shabby, desperate swindlers-low- life ''businessmen'' who pass off swampland as the buy of a lifetime.
		In Glengarry, Mamet orchestrates his usual blowhard patter-the herky-jerky repetitions, the profanity, the atmosphere of rapid-fire Scorsesean grittiness.
		The salesmen in Glengarry are pathetic, but they're also quick, defiant, and hilarious-moral dwarfs with the verbal gifts of snake-oil salesmen.
