Patterns, also known as Patterns of Power, is a 1956 American "boardroom drama" film. It's a forceful melodrama, that takes the viewer into the pits of a big corporation's board room politics, backstabbing, and the tough way of doing business. Things have changed since the 1950s which make some things outdated, but the film still has its finger on the savage nature of the business world. Even when a company is not as corrupt as an Enron, people are still perceived as secondary to making a profit no matter what.
Discussion Guest: Marc Dolan, John Jay College/CUNY.
