In praise of Glengarry Glen Ross

We explore this stellar sales film of 1992, which began life as a stage play at the National with Bob’s best man playing the prospect who changes his mind.What is it that David Mamet does so well with his writing that makes this story one of the films sales professional love and want to recount lines from?Well the characters are as sharply drawn as they are filthy tongued for one thing, so the dialogue fizzes and sparks.Secondly it is the story of desperation, and what a person can be led to do when your job is on the line.The iconic scene stealing delivery from Blake, Alec Baldwin in the film, Bob is this episode, is relished and understood for its brutality, as well as its honesty.If you know this film you’ll enjoy us bringing it to life with additional nerd facts, if you’re new to it, then you’ll be watching it very soon. To find out more about our work and to see what we could do to help your organisation, visit www.realitytraining.com.
