Madison Avenue (1962)


Twentieth Century-Fox
Directed by Bruce Humberstone
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Sex, lies and advertising, sixties style. Dana Andrews is the ruthless ad man who uses women to land clients. Eddie Albert is the man-child he helps climb to the top of the milk industry. Eleanor Parker is the homely ad executive he transforms into a chic monster. Jeanne Crain is the newspaper reporter he uses for public relations, but might be the one girl able to see through him. A very entertaining film filled with terrific performances, a scathing script and a cocktail in just about every scene.
