    What's that movie ?

    I am a bit of an old movie fan, and have been watching movies from the 40's up to the 70's. I find them interesting. There is a movie from the 40's that I just can not find. The problem is, I don't remember the name of the movie. I will tell you a little bit about the movie, perhaps someone might know the name of it ,(slim chance, but you never know).
    The movie is about a car company that is looking for a new general manager, the cars in the movie are futuristic, (by 1940's standards). There are about 6 men that are being interviewed by the company, and they also have their wives with them during the interview process, as the men are being judged as well as the wives. Part of the interview process involves touring the factory, and looking and all these new prototype cars. It is a bit like the interview process in the movie 'Willy Wonker and The Chocolate Factory' as the winner turns out to be the humble one, who just wants to work hard to get ahead.
    I would really like to find out the title of this movie so I can watch it again, it was really interesting.
    Any idea's anyone ?

    I think that may have been Tucker, the Tucker Torpedo, it starred the same actor that played the lead in Seabiscuit. No, I saw this movie when I was young,(a long time ago). Being a movie based around cars, I just thought someone would have seen it,or may know something about it. As for who starred in it, I have no idea. I guess I may never know. Thanks anyhow.
