The Middleman

Directed by Satyajit Ray

A bright and idealistic young graduate steels himself for a dog-eat-dog world, only to flounder in a job market packed with thousands of other hopefuls. When he eventually decides to start his own business as a middle-man, he discovers that the world of business does not live up to his lofty ideals. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive, in partnership with The Film Foundation, in 1996.
