''The Arrangement'' is a 1969 drama film written and directed by Creator/EliaKazan.
Eddie Anderson (Creator/KirkDouglas) is a 44-year-old well-to-do UsefulNotes/LosAngeles ad man who does not, repeat not, work for the West Coast office of [[Series/MadMen Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce]]. He has a beautiful home, an attractive wife named Florence (Creator/DeborahKerr), and a highly successful career that saw him just recently create a great ad campaign for... cigarettes.
Unfortunately, Eddie is having a mid-life crisis, partly brought on by the realization that he's selling cancer sticks, but more out of a general dissatisfaction with his life and lifestyle. The triggering event is the end of a tempestuous affair he's been having with Gwen (Creator/FayeDunaway), a younger and incredibly sexy junior executive at the advertising firm. Gwen's breakup with Eddie, after he refuses to file for divorce, starts him on a downward spiral of despair.

''The Arrangement'' is a 1969 film written and directed by Creator/EliaKazan.
Eddie Anderson (Creator/KirkDouglas) is a 44-year-old well-to-do Los Angeles ad man who does not, repeat not, work for the Los Angeles office of [[Series/MadMen Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce]]. He has a beautiful home, an attractive wife named Florence (Creator/DeborahKerr) and a successful career that saw him just recently create a great ad campaign for...cigarettes.
Unfortunately, Eddie is having a mid-life crisis, partly brought on by the realization that he's selling cancer sticks, but more out of a general dissatisfaction with his life and lifestyle. The triggering event is the end of a tempestuous affair he's been having with Gwen (Creator/FayeDunaway), a younger and incredibly sexy junior executive at the advertising firm. Gwen's breakup with Eddie, after he refuses to file for divorce, starts him on a downward spiral of despair.
Based on Kazan's own novel, which was a best-seller in 1967.
----
!!Tropes:
* CreepyChangingPainting: Done with photographs, as just one of several surreal effects in the movie. Florence stumbles across some hidden photos of Eddie and Gwen cavorting at the beach. She tears them up and then flings them down on Eddie's desk. The images in the pictures are then shown to move. (The movie doesn't definitively say whether or not [[Literature/HarryPotter Eddie is a wizard]].)
* FriendsRentControl: $80,000/year was a pretty handsome salary in 1969, but probably not handsome enough to maintain that mansion that Eddie and Gwen live in.
* ShoutOut: One scene has Eddie imagining beating up Gwen's boyfriend, complete with "POW!" and "BLAM!" cards that can only be shout-outs to the then-contemporary ''Series/{{Batman}}'' show.
* {{Skinnydipping}}: Gwen and Eddie indulge in this on a secluded beach. Later, in the first of several {{imagine spot}}s that indicate how Eddie is coming unglued, he imagines a nude Gwen swimming in his pool.
* SleepingSingle: As this movie was made after the end of UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode, this trope is not mandatory here. Instead it's a deliberate choice to show how the spark has gone out of Eddie and Florence's marriage. One scene has Florence crawling into Eddie's bed in an unsuccessful attempt to start intimacy.
* ToplessnessFromTheBack: Done with both Dunaway and Kerr as part of the {{Fanservice}} in a movie made while censorship codes were loosening.
