Rick Wentworth. “How to Get Ahead in Advertising” is a sour, mean-spirited attack on advertising, starring an actor who can be repulsive and hateful without even trying. Those are the good things about it. The film's weakness is that it hates advertising so much it can't shut up about it.
Pressure from his boss (Richard Wilson) and a skin-cream client produces a talking boil on a British adman's (Richard E. Grant) neck.
