Executive Suite is a 1954 American MGM drama film directed by Robert Wise and written by Ernest Lehman, based on the novel of the same name by Cameron Hawley. The film stars William Holden, Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric March, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters, and Nina Foch. The plot depicts the internal struggle for control of a furniture manufacturing company after the unexpected death of the company's CEO. Executive Suite was nominated for multiple Academy Awards, including for Nina Foch's performance, which earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
This was Lehman's first produced screenplay. He would go on to write Sabrina, North By Northwest, West Side Story, and other significant films. The film is one of few in Hollywood history without a musical score, although the song "Singin' in the Rain" is sung by Mike Walling while he is off-camera taking a shower. The song appears in many MGM films during the period when its lyricist Arthur Freed was a producer at the studio.

THE LAST TIME I SAW PARIS (1954) - Full Movie - Captioned
Avery Bullard, President of the Tredway Corporation has died. But he never named a clear successor, so the Board members must choose a replacement. The most likely is Loren Shaw, a skilled businessman, but some of the others don't like his calculating ways. But to stop him, they'll have to find someone else they can back. Will it be the engineer Don Walling? That will take convincing, they don't trust his youth and idealism. And he isn't even sure he wants the job, he might be happier creating rather than politicking.

McDonald Walling: The force behind a great company has to be more than the pride of one man; it has to be the pride of thousands. You can't make men work for money alone - you starve their souls when you try it, and you can starve a company to death the same way.::McDonald Walling: [picking up a small, flimsy table] And that's when we started doing things like this: the KF line. Walt, are your boys proud when they go out and sell this stuff? When they know the finish is going to crack, the veneer split off and the legs come loose?::Loren Phineas Shaw: Wait a minute, wait a minute. That's priced merchandise - it serves a definite purpose in the profit structure of this company. We're not cheating anyone.::McDonald Walling: Ourselves!::Loren Phineas Shaw: At that price, the customer knows exactly what he is going to get.::McDonald Walling: This!::[flips the table over, and easily tears off one of its legs]::McDonald Walling: This is what Tredway has come to mean!::[violently throws the leg against the wall]::McDonald Walling: And what do you suppose the people think of us when they buy it? How do you suppose the men in the factories feel when they make it? What must they think of a management that is willing to stoop to selling this kind of junk in order to add a dime a year to the dividend?
Loren Phineas Shaw: After all, that's only part of our business. Eventually we can cut down on the line...::McDonald Walling: We'll drop that line! And we'll never again ask a man to do anything that will poison his pride in himself or his work.
McDonald Walling: We'll have a line of low-priced furniture, a new and different line - as different from anything we're making today as a modern automobile is different from a covered wagon. That's what you want Walt, isn't it - what you've always wanted? Merchandise that will sell because it had beauty and function and value - not because the buyers like your scotch or think that you're a good egg. The kind of stuff that you, Jesse, will feel in your guts when you know it's coming off your production line. A kind of product that you will be able to budget to the nearest hundredth of a cent, Shaw, because it will be scientifically and efficiently designed. And something you will be proud to have your name on, Miss Tredway.
Mrs. George Nyle Caswell: You'll have to excuse my friend. He likes to read while he *doesn't* eat.
George Nyle Caswell: A one-man company without its one man!
[first lines]::[pre-opening-credits sequence; views of skyscrapers]::Narrator: It is always up there, close to the clouds, on the topmost floors of the sky-reaching towers of big business. And because it is high in the sky, you may think that those who work there are somehow above and beyond the tensions and temptations of the lower floors. This is to say that it isn't so.
[last lines]::[Mr. and Mrs. Walling enter an elevator]::McDonald Walling: Hey, by the way, who won today?::Mary Blemond Walling: We did.
McDonald Walling: If Bullock calls a meeting, he's got a good reason. He's a big man.
Josiah Walter Dudley: You don't know me as well as you think you do. A guy can change, you know.::Eva Bardeman: You wanna bet?
George Nyle Caswell: [Self-satisfied] That's the kind of gamble I like, a sure thing. I'll be able to buy that stock back for ten points less that I sold it.::Julius Steigel: There are some ways that don't seem right to make money. [He shakes his head in disapproval]
