After Mr. Sam
|
Abstract |
This documentary is the seventh and final part of Corporation, a film series about the inner workings of the Montreal-based Steinberg supermarket chain and real estate empire, founded in 1917. This installment documents a three-day conference held in the corporation's lodge north of Montreal. There, faced with the stepping down of Sam Steinberg (1905-1978) as president, ambitious top-level executives thrash out their differences on matters of corporation policy and objectives. But who will replace Mr. Sam, the man who built the business? Sprinkled with Sam Steinberg's reminiscences and reflections on business, full of insights into the workings of a large corporation and clashes of interest and character, the film presents an unusually close view of a struggle for position and power. Disagreement among Sam's three children after his death led to the sale of the family grocery store business in 1989, and the Steinberg family name disappeared from the stores in 1992.
