Patterns (1956)
American boardroom drama.
When Fred Staples is recruited onto the board of a high-powered New York corporation, he finds his ethics and ambition at odds.
Based on a teleplay by Rod Serling, Kraft Theatre: Patterns (1955). It featured several of the same actors who would appear in the movie, including Everett Sloane and Ed Begley. However, the part of Fred Staples, the lead, was originated by Richard Kiley. Begley’s character, Bill Briggs, was called Andy Sloane in the original version. Serling’s teleplay won him the first of his six Emmy Awards.
Directorial debut of Fielder Cook.
Film debut of Andrew Duggan.
A rare film for the era in that it does not have a musical score.
