A humble window washer at the New York offices of World Wide Wickets, J. Pierpont Finch applies the lessons he's learned from a book called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying to scrabble his way up the corporate ladder. Though advised by the mailroom supervisor to keep a low profile and play things "The Company Way," Finch would rather play by his own set of rules and ethics, however skewed they may be. After all, two can play this game. Robert Morse stars. Directed by David Swift.

Ambitious window cleaner J. Pierpont Finch (Robert Morse) buys a book describing how to get ahead in the business world and decides to test the tome's methods by joining the multinational but poorly run Worldwide Wicket Co. Starting in the mailroom, he rises to vice president in charge of advertising while falling for secretary Rosemary Pilkington (Michele Lee). Frank Loesser provides the songs, and Bob Fosse choreographs the dances in this fizzy musical.

Armed with a "How to..." manual, an ambitious window washer seeks to climb the corporate ladder.

Based on the story of Australia's colonization, this atmospheric drama stars Alan Ladd as Hugh Tallant, an American medical student falsely convicted of robbery and sent on a torturous voyage with other prisoners to the penal colony at Botany Bay.

When dedicated sailing skipper Patrick Fairlie (Ray Milland) accepts a job to attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, he has no idea that the assignment will place him smack-dab in the middle of a lethal family intrigue. With a document proving ownership of a huge island estate thought to be buried in the wreckage and rapacious promoter William Montague (Patric Knowles) coveting that land for his next hotel, the estate's very future is at stake.

John Ireland stars in this classic adventure as a shipwrecked ne'er-do-well who masterminds his way off of a deserted island with his cronies (Forrest Tucker and Richard Arlen) -- and onto a trail pointed toward buried treasure -- by stealing a slave trader's ship. But the joke's on him when the "scientists" (James Craig and Murray Matheson) to whom they agree to rent their boat prove to be treasure hunters out for themselves.
