But where everything is innuendo in Pinter, in Mamet, it's exuberant and hammer-fisted. The play does not include the classic "always be closing" scene which gave Alec Baldwin his very best role in the movie version. And the movie took a few halting steps toward trying to make the two leading characters a bit more sympathetic. Nonetheless, this play is just this side of perfect in its ability to induce groans and guffaws in equal measure. And, in its own very dark way, it's a deeply spiritual experience as well.

(  ) TakeItOrLeaveIt | Feb 21, 2009 | I have seen this play before, but this is the first time I've read it. All I can say is that the play is best in its natural state - live, not on paper. Mamet's plays are difficult to "get" without the actors in front of you, and the dialogue can be increasingly impossible to follow. The plot itself, once unearthed, is always a rollicking good time, and this one was no exception. (  ) cinesnail88 | Mar 14, 2008 | A truthful look at American capitalism and male competitiveness.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802130917, Paperback)Winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize, David Mamet's scalding comedy is about small-time, cutthroat real esate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers in a never-ending scramble for their fair share of the American dream. Here is Mamet at his very best, writing with brutal power about the tough life of tough characters who cajole, connive, wheedle, and wheel and deal for a piece of the action -- where closing a sale can mean a brand new cadillac but losing one can mean losing it all. This masterpiece of American drama is now a major motion picture starring Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alan Arkin, Alex Baldwain, Jonathan Pryce, Ed Harris, and Kevin Spacey.

scene was written later and made part of the screenplay especially for Alec.
All I can say is: GET THE MOVIE.
