How to Get Ahead in Advertising is 1989 U.K. motion picture written and directed by Bruce Robinson and starring Richard E. Grant and Rachel Ward. The movie is a comedy farce about a mentally unstable superstar advertising executive Denis Dimbleby Bagley (Grant) who suffers a nervous breakdown while working a campaign for pimple cream. Ward is his long-suffering but sympathetic wife. The central story of the movie revolves around Bagle's development of boil on his shoulder that comes alive (as experience by him) with a face and voice.
