Directed by: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring: Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, Warren Oates, Hume Cronyn
Woodward Lopeman: Why do you work at it so hard proving you're a son-of-a-bitch.
Paris Pittman Jr.: Because I am. It's my profession and I'm on top.
Cyrus McNutt: They're killing me by inches, Dudley.
Dudley Whinner: You'll outlive us all. You got a lot of inches.
Continuity mistake: When Paris has his private meeting with Woodward, he's smoking a cigar and you can see smoke rising all around him. The camera angle changes to a wide shot and all of the cigar smoke is gone.
