familiar with it at all.

3. At the board meeting you just missed Ed Begley delivered a very realistic representation

of what is totally obsolete thinking about business in a debate with the chair who did the more contemporary position that I'm sure you'd recognize. Interesting! role for Begley, excellent casting!!

2. Here's a summary from Netflix

Patterns(1956)

Master storyteller Rod Serling's drama delves into the mind of an ordinary man caught in the middle of a corporate power-play. Small-town engineer Fred Staples (Van Heflin) accepts an executive position with a big corporation and moves to the big city. His calculating boss (Everett Sloane) has a plan for his new employee: Staples will replace the firm's No. 2 man (Ed Begley). The tension builds as Staples navigates treacherous territory.
