This special edition (2 DVDS) of Glengarry is superb. It has the widescreen and full screen versions as well as many extras. Be assurred if you have a multi-region player this is the one to get. I have watched the widescreen version and there is nothing wrong with the quality of picture.
Glengarry is a film about Real Estate salesman - sounds dull - it isn't. Its one of my favourite films and the cast all give stand-out performances:
Alec Baldwin has never been better than his cameo role at the start of this film. The part was specially written by David Mamet for the film version and was not in his original stage play.
"Always be closing!"
Al Pacino is as always excellent, and Kevin Spacey in an early role shows why he went on to become one of the top actors of the 90's.
However, Jack Lemmon tops them all. He plays a desperate man, and consequently resorts to desperate measures in order to try and remain top of the selling game. A marvellous performance that will remain with you long after the film is over.
This film doesn't have any special effects, explosions or super-heroes but I guarentee you this has more memorable scenes than any blockbuster you will watch this year.

Rare indeed is the chance to see Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Pryce, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin and Al Pacino on stage all at the same time. But here it is. This film of the famous David Mamet play is a painful look at the world of high-pressure sales. You're only as good as your last close, your last deal, your last whatever--such is the harsh message of Mamet's play. Filmed as if the characters are onstage, the action takes place in a day--a rainy depressing evening and the following deceptively sunny morning. Everyone's a victim--the customers, the salesmen, the office manager, even the guy from "downtown." Blinded by need or greed, these men can't escape the endless cycle of boom and bust. The film is true to the play, and although a bit slow moving at times, the performances are stunning. It's amazing to see the defeated Jack Lemmon pick up the phone and immediately morph into a smooth talking executive with a guaranteed money-making investment to sell. You'll remember it every time you listen to a sales pitch!

I am a huge Al Pacino fan, but honestly, this film bored me.
I did not enjoy any aspect of it and would not recommend it
to anyone. I am surprised so many others enjoyed it.
This is the only Al Pacino film I did not enjoy.

If you've ever worked in sales then this movie will be instantly recognizable to you. Sales, especially commission-based sales, with all of it's epic highs and crushing lows, are the stuff of dreams. Anyone who's worked in any type of sales will recognize the characters portrayed in this movie; one day you're on a hot streak, master of your universe, and management can't stop telling you how great you are...then before you know it you're in a cold streak where you can't give product away and you stink so bad of failure that no one wants to be around you. It's no wonder that the highest paid people in the world are people who are really good at sales. It's also no wonder that this script drew such an all-star cast of actors; the dialogue is undeniably real because of the mix of desperation and cockiness. Buy it, live it, sell it...and always be closing.

Pretty powerful stuff here. Picks apart flaws in middle management, and
demonstrates the frustration rampant in any similar business situation. And
plenty of bad language which helps to underscore how the pressure sends
one into a tailspin almost instantly, with sometimes irretrievable damage
done in the process. A very good viewing experience, and not a job I'd
want to do.
