As Young as You Feel

I really enjoyed this fine screwball comedy, from a very clever story by Paddy Chayefsky, about a man forced to retire from a beloved printing job because he turned 65. He decides to go straight to the president to question the ageist policy, discovers no one knows what the president looks like, decides to impersonate him, and hilarity ensues.

Luckily for him, nobody actually knows who the the real company president is, let alone what he actually looks like, so with him showing a bit of bravado a routine inspection of the plant is easily arranged. He doesn't bargain on an invitation to the boss's home for dinner…
