Short description
Times are tough at Premiere Properties. Shelley "the machine" Levene and Dave Moss are veteran salesmen, but only Ricky Roma is on a hot streak. The new Glengarry sales leads could turn everything around, but the front office is holding them back until these "losers" prove themselves. Then someone decides to take matters into his own hands, stealing the Glengarry leads and leaving everyone wondering who did it.
What's left behind the scenes
- Rehearsals took three weeks, and filming took 39 days. Many scenes were shot in the first take. Almost everything was filmed in the order it appeared in the script.
- No auditions were held for any of the roles in the film. Each actor was offered a role directly by the film's creators.
- Almost immediately after its release, the film began to be used in sales training, and many phrases from it became slogans and were frequently quoted.
- The film is based on a play by David Mamet.
- The largest expense was creating the sound of rain, which drums throughout the first half of the film.
- On days when certain cast members weren't directly involved in filming, they would still come to the set to watch others perform.
- During rehearsals, James Foley instructed the actors to play out scenes that remained off-screen. For example, Jack Lemmon and Ed Harris acted out the scene in which Moss forces Levin to rob the office, while Al Pacino and Jonathan Pryce played the scene in which Ling, at Roma's insistence, invests in land.
