Patterns 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, though Richard Kiley, who had played the lead role of Fred Staples in the TV version, was replaced by Heflin for the film. Wilson's performance in the 1956 theatrical release earned her a nomination for a BAFTA Award for Most Promising Newcomer to Film.
