The Company Man (1970) dives into the eerie dynamics of corporate loyalty and personal sacrifice. You’ve got Agnes grappling with the realization that the company is the real 'other woman' in her marriage to Bob. The tone is thick with tension, almost claustrophobic, as it explores the subtle yet pervasive grip of corporate culture on family life. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to absorb the growing dissatisfaction that festers beneath the surface. Performances are raw and compelling, particularly as Agnes's frustration boils over. It’s a distinctive exploration of how work can overshadow home, making it a curious watch for anyone interested in societal commentary through film.
The Company Man's availability is somewhat erratic, with few releases over the years, which has led to increased interest among collectors of lesser-known films. The original release format is increasingly rare, making it a nice curiosity piece for those focused on corporate-themed narratives from the era. Its under-the-radar status might appeal to niche collectors who appreciate films that examine societal structures and personal dynamics.
