Directed by: Jim Clark

Synopsis: Teddy (Marty Feldman) works at an advertising company and is assigned to come up with a sexy campaign for frozen porridge, leading to lascivious daydreams and spot-on satiric comedy.

Cartoon Cats: The opening credits are animated in various commercial styles. One segment includes various characters pointing to the screen in a “this means you!” manner, including two different cats.

The orange and white cat returns toward the end of the credits promoting “Mouse Cat Food” which consists of a live mouse in a tin.

The tables turn when a bulldog opens a can of “Katt Dog Food” which contains the cat from the previous spot.

Final Mewsings: Cats have no idea how much selling power they really have.
