The Hucksters

When Victor Albee Norman (Clark Gable) returns from World War II, he takes a job with Kimberly Advertising Agency, working alongside Mr. Kimberly (Adolphe Menjou) himself. But to win the account of an unscrupulous business executive (Sydney Greenstreet), Norman must con a grieving war widow (Deborah Kerr, making her American debut), blackmail an old friend, and betray the woman (Ava Gardner) who loves him. Can the increasingly disillusioned Norman redeem himself before he completely surrenders his integrity -- and his soul -- to the ruthless advertising business?
