Behind The Scenery, 8 November 2005
6/10
Author: skallisjr from Tampa, FL United States

The story is set in high-powered New York, where an executive in the automotive industry brings in three candidates for a position well up on the corporate ladder. Each man brings his wife along, and as the film proceeds, it's clear that the wives are a factor in considering which of the men will be chosen.

The film shows that there was an unspoken market understanding that an important influence in car purchases is the opinion of the wife of a family. This, again, relates to the film's title.

In one respect, the film is a bit like a mini-Grand Hotel; that is, we get a glance of the personal situations and concerns of each family. But the film spends more than a little time showing off potential automotive designs.

The decision as to whom the position is given pivots on the realization of one of the candidates as to what his handicap is. Given the title of the film, the decision is rather ironic.
