Synopsis
"Executive Suite" (1954) is an American corporate drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Robert Wise and starring William Holden, Fredric March, Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters, and Nina Foch in an eight-principal ensemble.
The president of Tredway Corporation — a large furniture manufacturer — drops dead on a midtown street with no named successor and no will. Five vice-presidents spend the rest of the day calculating who has the votes. Fredric March's financial chief wants to cut product quality and pocket the savings; William Holden's design VP argues that move would finish the company. The deciding votes belong to the founder's daughter, played by Barbara Stanwyck.
Wise shot the film with no background score, which in 1954 felt almost aggressive — every scene runs on dialogue and close-ups alone. Nina Foch was up for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work here. Seven years later Wise claimed two Academy Awards for "West Side Story." Stream "Executive Suite" online on iFILM.
