Glengarry Glen Ross
Glengarry Glen Ross is the title of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by David Mamet, which he later adapted into a screenplay for the 1992 movie with the same title. The play shows parts of two days in the lives of four desperate Chicago real estate agents who are prepared to do any number of unethical and/or illegal things (from lies and flattery to bribery, from threats and intimidation to burglary) in order to sell undesirable real estate to unwilling prospective buyers ("leads").

Glengarry Glen Ross won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize in the category Drama.
The film differs from the play mainly with the insertion of a single scene written by Mamet. The scene involves a character named Blake, played by Alec Baldwin, who gives the main characters a more immediate motivation for selling real estate.
The film also differs in location, as the credits list it having been filmed "on location" in New York City, even though references to the Chicago area remain intact throughout.
