★★★★★ · Would You Buy a Career in Sales from This Film? · Christine Hennig · 2006-05-02
I was utterly charmed by this Jam Handy sales training film. In it, a salesman on his day off gets sent by his wife on a shopping spree in one of those downtown areas that dont exist anymore. There he deals with salesmen from terrible to excellent in all the different stores he goes into. And this was in the days before self-service in retail, so he has to deal with salesmen in all of them. After buying a bunch of stuff, he drops in on his boss (why, I dont know, since its his day offmust be a workaholic) who encourages him to use the experiences he had with salesmen that day to help him sell…
★★★★★ · Yep, that's James Dunn! · HillbillyProfane · 2007-09-19
The star of this charming little film is Academy Award-Winner James Dunn, although he's not in the credits, strangely. Just FYI. Very excited to find this film in the Archive, as I'm writing a book about James Dunn and I hadn't even heard about this film before!
