Francois Truffaut

Extremely skillful construction of the film thoroughly informs us about the characters in a minimum of scenes, without cutting up the action in sketches.

Here is a magnificent motion picture that meets the standard of greatness on almost every count. Running a fast 103 minutes, Executive Suite holds the viewer from the opening scene, building absorbingly to a smashing climax.

The rare Hollywood film that focuses entirely on a business setting, Executive Suite is both a typical drama of its day and an odd egg of a movie.

A slick, quintessential 1950s melodrama, about intrigues and leadership in the business world, well acted by an all-star cast: William Holden, Barabara Stanwyck, Fredric March, June Allyson.

...still manages to hold up reasonably well after more than fifty years. (Barbara Stanwyck Signature Collection)
