Glengarry Glen Ross

Cutthroat real estate

Glengarry Glen Ross is a 1984 play by David Mamet, later a 1992 film, depicting cutthroat real estate salesmen competing to keep their jobs.

The title combines two fictional Florida land developments the characters are hawking.

The work is known for its profanity-laced dialogue and brutal portrayal of American sales culture.

It was like Glengarry Glen Ross in that office—everyone backstabbing to hit their numbers.
