Advertising executive Eddie Anderson has success in business, comfort in marriage...and a gnawing despair he can't escape. So one morning he turns his sports car into the path of an 18-wheeler on the freeway – and toward a tumultuous future. Writer/director Elia Kazan cast this riveting film version of his best seller with top-flight actors who capture all the book's passions and nerve endings. Kirk Douglas as Eddie, Faye Dunaway as his provocative mistress, Deborah Kerr as his uncomprehending wife, Richard Boone as his tyrannical father and Hume Cronyn as a manipulative family attorney all give performances of truth and power. Bold. Insightful. Carnal. The Arrangement is for everyone who's reached for the brass ring and come up with his/her own arrangement.

Kerr finds a way to avoid engaging in cheap theatrics. She provides a nice counterbalance to the icy, sleek Dunaway who glides through every scene as she finds a way to explore her character’s deep insecurities...

The final result of Kazan's dark night of the soul is, tragically, pure american kitsch.

The movie has all the faults of the book, and then some, and you can't skip pages.

Michael Ross

Puffy, artsy to the point of ennui, epic where it should be personal, personal where it doesn't matter, drifting, senseless, pointless, irrelevant and dull.

[The Arrangement] plays like a television or radio set with the volume turned up too loud. Everyone comes on strong and loud -- not good, just loud.
