THE FEARMAKERS (1958)

There's a bookend of beating in Jacques Tourneur's desk-set Film Noir THE FEARMAKERS as Dana Andrews begins as a prisoner-of-war from Korea, and then back in Washington D.C. where he owned a business dealing with public-relations opinion-research, now headed crookedly by villain Dick Foran and his huge henchman, Kelly Thordsen, who beat Dana's Alan Eaton some more. But he doesn't lose; not ultimately. Full review at Cult Film Freak.

MADISON AVENUE (1961)

The third of four movies starring Dana Andrews and Jeanne Crain is the only where Crain plays the sort of "other woman" on the sidelines wherein Dana's MADISON AVENUE mover/shaker is building-up the career of Eleanor Parker. The scenes between Andrews and Crain, though, are the longest and last throughout the entire story.
