The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956)
Ten years after their fantastic, steamy pairing in Duel in the Sun, Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones reunited in the adaptation of the successful novel The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. During the golden age of the 1950s, it was pretty daring to make a story about life in suburbia that isn’t perfect. Greg and Jenny are married and live a perfectly normal existence, and it’s nice for audiences to see them in a normal, far from tumultuous relationship. But why is Greg so unsatisfied?
Well, as he commutes to his job in the city, he flashes back to his time in the war, before he returned home and donned the stereotypical gray flannel suit. He’s still haunted by his memories, both on the battlefield and in the arms of the woman he had an affair with while overseas. I know; why would you cheat on Jennifer Jones?
While it was a groundbreaking movie to make in 1956, it doesn’t really stand the test of time very well, since Hollywood has now made thousands of movies about a man’s dissatisfaction with his seemingly perfect life. This one can feel a little slow and anticlimactic, so unless you’re really into old movies or Gregory Peck, you might not like it that much.
