The Bachelor Party (1957)
Director: Delbert Mann
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Based on Paddy Chayefsky's highly successful TV play (itself a follow-up to Marty), this is a story about a debauch among office workers that sours as the night wears on. Praised in its day for its ensemble acting and acute analysis of middle-class anxieties, it now looks rather drab and dated.Author: MA
