Trailer
Overview
Patterns is a 1956 American boardroom drama film directed by Fielder Cook and starring Van Heflin, Everett Sloane, Ed Begley, Beatrice Straight, and Elizabeth Wilson. The film is sometimes referred to as Patterns of Power. The screenplay was written by Rod Serling, who adapted it from his earlier teleplay of the same name. In the film, a cruel chief executive officer aims to eliminate internal opposition by sabotaging and humiliating a good-natured executive. The CEO uses this tactic in an effort to force the executive's resignation and position a reticent new hire as his new yes man. The feature-length drama offers a behind-the-scenes look at the corporate world.
