He finally wrote a script, with my assistance, then he went out and found a producer, Sig Shore. I never believed for an instant we were going to do this film. But then we auditioned actors, and selected Gordon Parks, Jr., as director
Neither Brice nor Bower is a very original character. The kind of crisis described here, in which power switched from creative personnel to research-oriented account executives, was a familiar story along Madison Avenue during the recession two years ago. What the author, who is a vice president of Doyle Dane Bernbach, does very convincingly is to convey what life in a big-time agency must be like: the daily routine, the steps up, sideways and down, the monotonous tides of taste and style, the Byzantine rules of client diplomacy.
