What a down-to-earth guy he is; more so, even, because of his raging insecurities...he's beyond grounded, he's downright catatonic. Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones who ten years earlier lit up the screen in Duel from the Sun get together again for a film that's as far removed from that classic as George Washington to George Bush. On top of all this, he learns that some of his actions in Italy during World War 2 have come to haunt him.

That is not so strange for the many men who for years have been getting up at the same time every day, fumbling in the dark with the alarm clock, putting on an IBM-approved white shirt and tie, and going off to an office like their fathers before them. Without knowing him, it seems Goulian is honest in his self-appraisal and I hope is growing more comfortable with himself every day. Refresh and try again.

At times, Mr. Johnson succeeds, but the film he gave us is a bit dated when one looks at it today. Goulian suffers the same things as many of us do to varying degrees--body insecurity, fear of failure, fear of not measuring up, of letting people down, etc. It is one worth watching! Just not my cup of tea. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is a 1955 novel by Sloan Wilson about the American search for purpose in a world dominated by business. This memoir was very frustrating. I realized then at the end that thats just it, he hadn't "done" anything, he just lived how he wanted and that led him to have one of the most interesting lives (with a somewhat exception of one chapter, which was a bit uncomfortable to read but still interesting!)

The purpose of the book is for the author to explain why he turned out so abnormal (dressing like a woman, OCD, cannot hold a job) when he grew-up in a family of over-achievers. “In compulsively keeping myself out of view, I was participating, without realizing it, in a rich New York tradition. Of course, I write that as if any of the so-called "traditional" ways of getting through life are somehow more normal or more acceptable. He is faced with a number of seemingly mundane dilemmas, such as settling a deceased relative's estate, how to deal with a dissatisfied wife more ambitious than he, whether to switch jobs for better pay, and whether he should tell his new boss what he *needs* rather than *wants* to hear.

This is Sloan Wilson's searing indictment of a society that had just begun to lose touch with its citizens. — Saturday Review Great book! Gregory Peck's character's use of dialogue is top notch and there are a lot of excellent scenes. Helen Hopkins is outstanding as the fragile wife of a powerful executive. “For the great bulk of my adult life, beginning roughly when I was sixteen and continuing, off and on, until now, at the age of forty, I have fallen short, sometimes dangerously short, of the conventional ideal of masculinity.” So begins Jon-Jon Goulian’s memoir, a courageous explanation of why he is who he is.

It's even more true today, than it was then, now things are so rigidly stratified in our society that people can't even relate to considering being a Workaholic anything other than 'worthwhile' and 'normal'.
