Executive Suite (1954) watch online

Executive Suite is a 1954 American drama film directed by Robert Wise and written by Ernest Lehman, and starring William Holden, June Allyson, Barbara Stanwyck, Fredric March, Walter Pidgeon, Shelley Winters, Paul Douglas, Louis Calhern, Dean Jagger, and Nina Foch. Based on the 1952 novel of the same name by Cameron Hawley, it depicts the internal struggle for control of a furniture manufacturing company after the unexpected death of the company's president. Executive Suite was nominated for multiple Academy Awards, including for Foch's performance, which earned a Best Supporting Actress nomination. The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the 15th Venice International Film Festival.

This was Lehman's first produced screenplay, and its plot deviates substantially from the novel. He went on to write Sabrina, North by Northwest, West Side Story, and other films. The film is one of few in Hollywood history without a musical score.
