His ability to make you uncomfortable as you wait on the edge of your seat for the inevitable is a cruel talent.  

Sixties fashion references are always enjoyable to watch on the big screen, and so strange to see how mainstream that look is today.   You would almost not know it was a retro film, with the effect Mad Men has had on the fashion world.   Companies from Prada to Banana Republic have morphed their style to the 1960's,  thanks in part to Don Draper.
