What is the difference between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth?
The most important way in which the film differs from the play is the addition of a famous scene known as "Coffee's For Closers" written by Mamet involving a character named Blake, written specifically for Alec Baldwin. Blake gives the main characters a more immediate motivation for selling real estate - namely that their jobs are on the line. The scenes that show Shelley going to visit an uninterested potential client were added for the film. Some of his phone conversations are added as well. The additions add an even deeper sense of sad desperation for Lemmon's character than appeared in the original play. The film also differs in geographic location. While the play's original references to the Chicago area remain intact throughout, the film credits list it as having been filmed "on location" in http://www.answers.com/topic/new-york-city-of-southern-new-york. As such, there are some scenes which do refer to New York, such as the opening scene, in which the pay phone Shelley Levene (Lemmon) uses clearly reads "New York." Also, George Aaronow (Arkin) comments to Shelley, "I had a woman in White Plains on the hook ...," an obvious reference to http://www.answers.com/topic/white-plains-new-york. The final scene also features a subway car with "Sheepshead Bay" (as in http://www.answers.com/topic/sheepshead-bay-brooklyn, http://www.answers.com/topic/brooklyn) as the destination. The scene in which Pacino's character arrives at the office clearly shows an http://www.answers.com/topic/new-york-city-police-department squad car. However, when Shelley engages in conversation in one scene he twice says "Kenilworth" - which is the name of both an affluent Chicago suburb on the north shore of Lake Michigan and a middle class New York City suburb in http://www.answers.com/topic/union-county-new-jersey. David Mamet also altered the original ending of the movie. In the play, Roma flatters Shelley and suggests that the two work together. Then, when Shelley leaves the room, Roma turns on Shelley and reveals that his flattery was only a con to get a share of Shelley's sales. In the movie, this last-second turn is omitted, and Roma's flattery is assumed to be sincere.
