great overview of how sales managers can halp sell more Pabst beer to their customers. Full of amazing animation trickery which makes the advertising fly by, this is quite impressive, considering this is a Castle flim and all. I liked the very beginning, where it is told that we had just watched a film about Pabst, and now here's more reasons to sell Pabst to your customers. The images of the millions of Pabst boxes is pretty awesome. The whole sales pitch at the end bogs it down somewhat, but I will say this film is strongly reccomended anyways.
