Ultrabizarre 'dream' movie with the ultratalented Clark Howat (who played the head cop in Billy Jack, I looked him up) playing 3 roles! Bill, his better self, and his subconscious self! Along with the ride are Hardware talking head Rivers Petersen and "America's Greatest Salesman" Elmer Wheeler!.
After a great marquee beginning, we step into Bill the salesman's dream. Everyone around him thinks he's having trouble selling guns and other hardware supplies (like hunting jackets and pressure cookers!) So Wheeler gives him his 5 points to make good sales, including 'Sell the Sizzle, not the steak!" We see some case studies of Bill's work, but curiously, these are all GOOD examples of his work. If they were concentrating on how bad his work is, wouldnt they give some BAD case studies? Love the sets too. It all ends with Bill waking up and saying to the Camera, "And how did you sleep tonight?" Uhhhhhh... What does THAT mean?
