For one thing, the film's underlying plot of a rivalry between two advertising executives, one a hard-working woman, the other a womanizing man who takes unfair advantage of her, is rather close to the outline of that archaic 1961 Doris Day-Rock Hudson vehicle "Lover Come Back."
This truth is in no small part thanks to the contributions of screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky ("Marty," "The Americanization of Emily," "Altered States"), director Sidney Lumet ("12 Angry Men," "The Pawnbroker," "Fail-Safe," "Murder on the Orient Express," "Dog Day Afternoon," "The Verdict"), and stars Peter Finch, Fay Dunaway, William Holden, and Robert Duvall.
