Storyline
The film depicts two days in the lives of four real estate salesmen who are supplied with leads — the names and phone numbers of prospects — and use deceitful and dubious tactics to make sales. Blake unleashes a torrent of verbal abuse on the salesmen and announces that only the top two will be allowed access to the more promising Glengarry leads.

“The movie will never be as good as the book, both because the book goes on longer and because books are internal.”
