So I thought I would post something for discussion. Hope that's alright! Have any of you seen the film The Hucksters starring Clark Cable and Deborah Kerr? It's Ms. Kerr's American film debut and the supporting cast is amazing. The film is about the advertising game--and everyone is trying to sell something to someone. I thought it was very cleverly done and possibly a bit controversial for 1947. Definitely poking a sharp stick at the whole advertising business. I don't want to spoil it if some of you haven't seen it, but if there are some who have, I would love to discuss it.

EDIT: Also, I didn't tag this entry because I wasn't sure what you might want. I thought about tagging it "Advertising" but also maybe "Clark Gable."

Heck, you know what? Let's be bold. Let's tag for concept too. Why not? And if the group disagrees on what something's about, we can discuss it till the cows come home and it'll be some fun. :-D
