One of the best films i have seen

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Arriving to pick up his girlfriend for a date, handsome business college graduate Craig Hill (as Carl Landis) is surprised to see her opening presents at an engagement party. Due to financial insecurity, Mr. Hill is reluctant to commit. Although she tries to be understanding, fiancée Gloria Talbot (as Ellen) decides to let Hill have his freedom. At one point, she makes the drastic offer to get a job. This shocking suggestion is quickly dismissed. They quickly kiss and make up. Hill works for father Harry Harvey (as Judd), at his struggling Landis Department Store...Behind the times, the Landis store does not accept popular "S. & H. Green Stamps". When she wants to buy a toaster, Hill must drive Ms. Talbott to another store, because they honor "S. & H. Green Stamps". The couple disagrees about savings stamps. When Hill meets expert businessman Leon Ames (as Elliott Winston), he sees the advantages of "S. & H. Green Stamps" and (hopefully) lives happily ever after. This advertising film made for the Sperry and Hutchinson Co.'s once popular "Green Stamps" is more interesting today for its peak into the idealized 1950s.***** Engagement Party (1956) Wilhelm Thiele ~ Craig Hill, Gloria Talbott, Leon Ames, Harry Harvey

What the world needs now - desperately - is more S & H Green Stamps. Heck, considering no one's been able to find the coveted trading stamps since the end of the 20th century, even a small supply of them could possibly give our struggling economy the kick in the pants it needs. Such is the thesis of Engagement Party, in which a couple of stubborn business men turn up their noses at S & H Green Stamps. If only they understood how the stamps worked - customers who pay with cash get a discount in the form of stamps they then collect and turn in for valuable goods, like toasters and...more toasters! If you ever thought Sperry & Hutchinson were operating some sort of Ponzi scheme, Engagement Party will set you right. I'll take ALL the toasters, please!
