Patterns (sometimes referred to as Patterns of Power) is a 1956 American "boardroom drama" film directed by Fielder Cook, and starring Van Heflin, Everett Sloane, Ed Begley, Beatrice Straight, and Elizabeth Wilson. The screenplay was adapted by Rod Serling from his 1955 teleplay of the same name, which was originally broadcast January 12, 1955, on the Kraft Television Theatre with several of the same actors (including Sloane, Begley, and Wilson), though Richard Kiley was replaced by Heflin for the film.
