How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989)
Reclameman Denis Bagley is een genie in zijn werk: alles wat hij aanraakt verandert in 'goud'. Op zijn gebruikelijke manier pakt hij een nieuw project aan: een reclamecampagne voor een crème tegen puistjes. Maar hij kan er geen slogan voor bedenken. Zijn blokkade wordt een obsessie, zodat niet alleen zijn huwelijk met Julia eronder lijdt, maar ook zijn vrienden en zijn baas Denis herkennen hem niet meer. Wanneer hij plots een puistje in zijn eigen nek ontdekt, dat snel muteert in een bult en plots tegen hem praat, denkt Denis dat hij gek wordt...
