I love the second level to this line. It’s a quick quip by Roger but the deeper meaning is Don Draper isn’t his name, Dick Whitman used Don Draper’s name to “end their business in the newspaper” and Roger was asking if it was indeed the man in front of him using Don Draper’s name or if it was someone else.

Pay very close to how Roger Sterling is reading the room. When Don was getting out of line he told him off, but when the others were firing up he was in bomb defusal mode. He was paying attention to and tempering everyone's mood from start to finish. Superb accounts man.

@@Ardeshir999 No, it's not that he wanted HIS name in the paper, he simply wanted a united front. Yes, he'd have preferred that the letter hadn't gone out, but if it did, then he'd have wanted it signed by all partners of SCDP, not just a lone member of the board. The latter suggests (as was the reality of the situation) the anarchy of an organization acting out of synch, while all partners signing it shows an alliance, a plan, stability. Burt Cooper is a leader and knows the value of public perception AND having the right approach. Like Pete said, Don *is* impatient and childish; he has an artistic temperament and wants to be the center of attention. Everything about the letter does reflect back on him. While the stunt ultimately pays off, it wasn't a good business approach and elements of it would come back to bite Don.

@@Egilhelmson I think it's meant to be an anachronistic writers' joke for viewers. The secretary might not know the name, but all these mad men would. Foote's agency (Foote, Cone, & Belding) had taken a stand against tobacco advertising in 1948, and then he took a personal and very public stand in 1964, resigning as chairman from McCann-Erickson, which, like most big agencies, was still doing tobacco advertising.

This show reaaally did a number with this scene. It's an almost perfect copy of the ''Penalty of Leadership'' ad by Theodore F. MacManus. A letter to save a company, a letter that in fact saved their businesses and a letter that changed the ad world (wellll in Don's case their semi-fictitious ad world). They both acheived diferently the same purpose, to save a product. In MacManus case it was the Cadillac companny, in Don's case, well it was more grand than a simple company, it was to save the ad business itself from the lack of honesty they were adressing their public about the tobacco companys, and so they took the leadership and abandoned the tobacco business. Don in the end is receiving the penalty for that leadership as told by MacManus in his letter, and when Don tells Pete that '' this is an ad for the agency and if you don't understand that you shouldn't be in the business'' he is absolutely correct and the only one that seems to understand what was really happening was obviously Cooper by saying to him that he should've put their names on the letter. Not because he was afraid of beeing seen, like the others, in a sinking boat on wich Don delivered the final blow, but because he sees that Don left them out of being leaders as well. He as well as MacManus ended the letter in a similar fashion and while Don's is an adequate ending by saying that he is certain that their best work is ahead o them, MacManus raises his to a level hard to achieve : ''That which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. That which deserves to live-lives''.

@bigbuffguy9589 5 жыл бұрын
That's a pretty interesting history lesson about MacManus, but no, Pete was absolutely right. Don doesn't care about smoking. He's just butthurt and scorned that Lucky Strike left. Just because it worked out doesn't mean it was a good idea. He acted unilaterally and probably should have been fired. As for Burt, I don't think he necessarily agrees with Don's stance on smoking. He's irritated that Don didn't consult the other partners.
@FanboyFilms
@FanboyFilms 5 жыл бұрын
Pete says Don is "impatient and childish" but I would replace childish with impulsive. Sometimes it works against him. Here, it seemed to work. Their biggest client ditched them which was bad PR for the agency. Don's ad basically said they didn't dump us, we dumped them. It was a bold move to save face and save future business. Pete claims that Don puts himself ahead of the company but I don't think Don separates the two. What's good the company is good for him. He didn't consult because he knew they didn't have the vision to pull the trigger and the opportunity would have been lost. He left their names off so that if it backfired they could scapegoat him to save face for the company. The scene does show us what Don should have known, that Burt got it, and if Don had consulted him privately he probably would have approved and made Roger execute Don's plan.

It's called big TOBACCO, ergo, it's a given within that world, as an advertising executive, that he isn't referring to quitting smoking, but stating that he will no longer work for TOBACCO companies.

Don: So, you didn’t say what you think about the letter” Peggy: “I thought you didn’t go for this kind of shenanigans” Earlier on the season, Don said that he didn’t like shenanigans when Peggy and Pete hired two actresses to fight for a ham. I love how Mad Men connects the dots between the story.

Don is quick to fire Lane when he forges Don's name, but this he find ok and defendable. He's an excellent portrayal of the self made man who, because of his own ability and luck, thinks he's above everything else, and that he's always in the right.

@@JudgeJulieLit yea I get that but again it’s totally different. Don did what he did to escape poverty and his abusive/unstable household and rather it’s forgery or not he made something of it. Lane used another (alive)man’s signature and gave himself money because he was too prideful to ask for it up front. Money he would have gotten easy if he just asked but he didn’t which lead to a bunch of bad things happing to him. Two different situations

@@milosmilosmilos Very probably true, but Don did keep Pete around. I think he knew he couldn't openly challenge Lane and be sure to win that fight. And Don is highly impulsive. It's not like he's very consistent throughout the show, apart from his womanising.

What I love about 'the letter' is that we never get a straight answer about how we are 'supposed' to feel about it. At least, that is how it comes across to me. On the one hand, the message is somewhat virtuous. On the other, it also cynical (it is an ad for the company). It feels like a step in the right direction for Don, yet I cannot help but feel that the partner complaints are all valid too, and their exclusion in the decision highlights it as a childish act by Don, who relies a lot on others whilst also wanting an easy way out of trouble.
