The Firm Man is a 1975 film which was the directorial debut of John Duigan.
Gerald Baxter, a middle aged businessman, starts a new job at a company called the Firm where his only jobs are collecting occasional messages. Gerald becomes bored and alienated from his life and wife. He befriends a girl who offers him another life but in the end conforms.
The film was shot in Victoria partly with funds provided by the Australia Council. Filming took four weeks over the summer of 1974 using actors with whom Duigan had worked in the theatre.
