Additional Information

'Patterns' (1956): Newly hired to a corporate position, Fred Staples (Van Heflin) is horrified to find he’s part of his boss’s plot to sideline and destroy an honorable but ineffectual co-worker. Weighing decency and ambition, Fred tries to walk a humane line, but learns some surprising lessons about being part of a machine. Among the most gripping and incisive workplace dramas, the film puts Serling’s characteristically verbal dramaturgy on brilliant display.

'Look Here'  (NBC, 3/16/58): In this special television interview, journalist Martin Agronsky captures Serling in the back yard of his luxurious Pacific Palisades home where he candidly reflects on the limitations faced by a television writer and the compromises of working in the Hollywood system.

IN PERSON: Matthew Weiner, creator of "Mad Men"
