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, JB 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…

Nelson Riddle arranging, orchestrating and conducting this movie score. You can hear shades of his Batman tv series music score (1966) in the overture.

He doesn’t buy the book, he steals the damn thing!
Thanks a million for posting this. I have the soundtrack off the 1995 version on Broadway with Matthew Broderick but I’ve never actually seen it. Fun to see the music and lyrics actually come alive. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for posting my second favorite movie of all time.
We performed this story as a musical at the high school I attended. I was hoping that when I graduated from high school and entered the business world, it would be exactly like in this movie.
