It Pays to Advertise
To prove his thesis that any product--even one that doesn't exist--can be merchandized if it is advertised properly, a young man gets together with his father's savvy secretary to market a non-existent laundry soap. Complications ensue when his "product" turns out to be more successful than even he imagined--and now he has to deliver.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
It Pays to Advertise is an acquired taste at 4.9/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1931. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
