The Secret of My Success

(1987)Directed by Herbert Ross111 min · PG-13Comedy
“There's no such thing as an overnight success. Brantley Foster took two weeks.”

Brantley Foster (Michael J. Fox) is a Kansas kid with a good education and a big plan for New York, until he finds the city has no jobs for him and no interest in him. His uncle Howard Prescott (Richard Jordan) runs a multi-million-dollar company and puts him in the mail room. Herbert Ross shot it on location in Manhattan, where Brantley has to keep what he's reaching for from slipping away.
