The Secret of My Success

1987 111 min PG-13 Comedy

There's no such thing as an overnight success. Brantley Foster took two weeks.

A small-town kid moves to New York and discovers the mailroom isn’t the fast track to success he imagined. He bullies his way into a higher role using fake confidence and stolen stationery. The movie stops just short of endorsing corporate espionage as career advice.

Directed by Herbert Ross · Written by Jim Cash, Jack Epps Jr., AJ Carothers

Starring Michael J. Fox, Helen Slater, Richard Jordan, Margaret Whitton, John Pankow, Christopher Murney
