Glengarry Glen Ross began as a stage play written by David Mamet. It premiered in London in 1983 and quickly gained acclaim for its sharp dialogue and unflinching portrayal of cutthroat salesmen. The play went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1984, solidifying its place as a modern classic. Eight years later, in 1992, Mamet himself adapted the screenplay for a film version. The movie starred Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, and Kevin Spacey, and garnered critical praise, though it wasn't a major box office success.
Both the play and film center around a group of down-on-their-luck real estate agents in Chicago. Under immense pressure to perform, they resort to unethical tactics and desperation in a fight to keep their jobs. Glengarry Glen Ross is a scathing indictment of the American sales culture, filled with dark humor and unforgettable characters.
