David Mamet in Pictures
(Page 2)
Glengarry Glen Ross
The stage adaptations of this Pulitzer Prize-winning play are countless, but it’s with this 1992 screen version that audiences everywhere learned that all-important real estate motto: Always be closing. The story of two rival Chicago real estate firms was originally meant for the theater so instead of extensive set pieces or flashy editing, this drama concentrates on the spoken word—Mamet’s forte. With actors like Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Kevin Spacey (currently starring in a revival of Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow at London’s Old Vic) and Alec Baldwin, it added Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations to its resume.
