Soundtrack Secret of My Success Soundtrack Margaret Whitton as Vera Pemrose Prescott.While security guards escort Howard and his aide, Art Thomas ( Gerry Bamman), from the Pemrose Building, Brantley and Christy start planning their future together, personal as well as professional. Vera, already contemptuous of Howard for his counter-productive business practices, which were driving her father's empire into the ground, learns that Prescott has been cheating on her to boot. In the end, Brantley and Vera raise enough cash, bonds, and stocks to wrest ownership of the Pemrose Corporation from Prescott, and to proceed with a hostile takeover bid of Davenport's Corporation. Prescott, unaware that Whitfield and Brantley are one and the same person, suspects Carlton is a spy for corporate raider Donald Davenport ( Fred Gwynne).

As a result, Brantley is laid off before he even starts working.Īfter several unsuccessful attempts to get another job, mostly because he is either overqualified or underqualified and has little experience, Brantley ends up working in the mailroom of the Pemrose Corporation, which is directed by his uncle, Howard Prescott ( Richard Jordan), the CEO.
