10 Movies to Watch When You're Missing Mad Men, Part 5

I am down to the final two movies on my Mad Men themed list! 2)The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit was released in 1956, and stars Gregory Peck as a Public Relations man trying to support his wife (played by Jennifer Jones) and two kids in suburban Connecticut, at a nonprofit corporation while at the same time haunted by painful memories of World War II, and his illicit wartime romance. When he takes a higher-paying job at a television corporation, his past comes back to haunt him unexpectedly, and he must figure out how to deal with the consequences, while at the same time, not losing the life he had built for himself.
The movie 1) How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying  (1967), holds a special significance to me, as it stars Robert Morse as an ambitious young window washer, who ruthlessly, and seemingly effortlessly climbs his way to the top with brash charm, verve, and cunning, qualities that would serve him well much later on in his career, as he went on to play senior partner Bert Cooper on my favorite show, Mad Men!
