Starring Alan Bates, Denholm Elliott, Harry Andrews, Millicent Martin

Nobody knows better than Jimmy Brewster that there is still only one way to get where it really matters. What he lacks is the right style, the uppercrust background, and when by chance he meets a well-bred layabout he seizes the chance for instruction in acquiring the right image. Now nothing, and nobody, can stand in the way of his ambition.
This sharply funny story of a social climber from the swinging 60s reflects the strong influence of the television satire of the period with all its audacity and social ruthlessness. The packaging, from the acting to the photography and decor, sparkles with eye-catching detail - and the music is by Ron Grainer.
