Paradoxically, though, the film was almost as successful with the audiences it insulted as I'm All Right Jack, and the reasons why shed another light on its meanings. First, of course, there is the moral masochism mentioned earlier, 'As we all know,' remarks David Riesman in The Lonely Crowd, 'the businessmen and advertisers themselves flock to plays and movies that tell them what miserable sinners they are.'
