How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967) 13/13

J. Pierpont Finch, a young but bright window-cleaner buys a book - "How To Succeed In Business" and following its advice joins the multi-national but poorly-connected "World-Wide Wicket Company". Starting from the mail-room he rises to Vice-President in Charge Of Advertising using sneaky and dubious ways so that the person above him gets either fired or moved to another section of the company. He also starts slowly falling in love with secretary Rosemary Pilkington. Meanwhile, the president of the WWWC, J.B. Biggley, tries to have an affair with drop-dead gorgeous bubble-head Hedy LaRue, but she becomes a weapon used both by Finch and Bud Frump, Biggley's brattish and annoying nephew who believe that he should get all the breaks and not Finch. Can Finch rise to the top or will it all go down in flames...

I think Smitty's pigtails make her super cute. :)) And for such a sassy character.

I loved it when I first saw this on TV in the early 70's

[@65wiseman]

Love the bit with LBJ lookalike and Miss Lee was so pretty.

Thank you so much for putting this on the internet. I will probably never get the chance to go see this on Broadway and I really do appreciate you uploading this Timeless Classic to share with the world. Thank you again. :)

A fabulous motion picture depicting how great the year 1967 was and the way the world was back then. People did right and things were much better and people worked and cared about their jobs and did them well, not so anymore what a horrible shame !!!!!

It must've been the play then, the 18 year old he was "seeing" said it was a favorite of both of them.

[@hellomoohere]

What an ending :)

[@heatherswanson5844]

(SPOILER--) Heddy marries the chairman of the board, but then in the next scene (the ensemble cast outro), she's standing next to Bigby and gives him a kiss! Ooh! That's dirty!

[@markjohnson4371]

Who knew that Karen Fairgate MacKenzie had a life before Knots Landing

[@pdfbanana]

Came to see a scene, re-watched the movie.

[@williamstebbins7294]

The video looks scrunched which is the opposite of wide screen it looks like. Or, maybe is just letter boxed on the sides.

[@hellomoohere]

Chairman in a week !

[@staticjames]

It's called a playlist

[@davidlanham99]

Wait a second, JFK liked this movie, and the president in this looks like LBJ. Weird.

[@StanleyKewbeb1]

JFK was killed four years before this movie was made.

[@tewkewl]

Is that really LBJ?
