Ostensibly a humorous satire about the superficial world of advertising - but harbouring a chocolatey core filled with the gooey exploration of ego, love, success and dignity - 'The Hucksters' follows recently-discharged (in the closing days of the Second World War) Vic Norman as he moves from army radio work back into the world of advertising.

Plot. The film revolves around Victor Norman (Clark Gable), a World War II veteran and radio advertising executive.
First published in 1945, but focusing on the United States in the last few months of World War II, THE HUCKSTERS is a warts-and-all exposé of the advertising industry, its hypocrisies, strains and stresses, especially in an era when agencies often acted as intermediaries between sponsors and talents involved in radio programming.
