Short description
When an office full of Chicago real estate salesmen is given the news that all but the top two will be fired at the end of the week, the atmosphere begins to heat up. Shelley Levene, who has a sick daughter, does everything in his power to get better leads from his boss, John Williamson, but to no avail. When his coworker Dave Moss comes up with a plan to steal the leads, things get complicated for the tough-talking salesmen.
What's left behind the scenes
- Rehearsals took three weeks, and filming took 39 days. Many scenes were shot in the first take. Almost everything was filmed in the order it appeared in the script.
- No auditions were held for any of the roles in the film. Each actor was offered a role directly by the film's creators.
- Almost immediately after its release, the film began to be used in sales training, and many phrases from it became slogans and were frequently quoted.
- The film is based on a play by David Mamet.
- The largest expense was creating the sound of rain, which drums throughout the first half of the film.
- On days when certain cast members weren't directly involved in filming, they would still come to the set to watch others perform.
