How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
Following the advice of a book entitled "How to Succeed in Business" a young window-cleaner, J Pierrepont Finch, begins a meteoric rise from the mail-room to Vice President of Advertising at the World-Wide Wicket Company. Finch's unorthodox and morally-questionable business practices jeopardize not only his career but also his romance with Secretary Rosemary Pilkington.
