The Barefoot Executive Full Movie Online

A satire of network television, the film follows the adventures of an ambitious mailroom clerk, Steven Post (Kurt Russell) at the fictional struggling UBC (United Broadcasting Corporation) Network.

The Discovery of a Unique Talent

Post discovers that a chimpanzee named Raffles, left in the care of his girlfriend Jennifer Scott (Heather North) by neighbors who moved to San Francisco, has the uncanny ability to choose which television programs will succeed or fail with audiences.

Rise to Success

Post smuggles the chimpanzee into the UBC building when various programs are being previewed for executives and watches as the chimpanzee gives his vote from the projection room.

The first program that receives Raffles’s approval is a film named Devil Dan. Post tells the programming executives that Devil Dan will draw large audiences. The executives disagree and choose not to program the film.

To prove he’s got a sure-fire way of choosing hits, Post sneaks into UBC’s broadcast center to switch the reels. Executives are outraged when Devil Dan airs, but Post is proved right. The film propels UBC to first place in the ratings war.

Challenges and Triumphs

Post successfully masks the chimpanzee’s abilities as his own and rises to vice president of UBC, now the top-rated area network. However, this also creates suspicion and resentment among UBC executives, mainly because they believe Post is too young to merit the title of vice president.

Their resentment reaches a breaking point at a television award ceremony where Steven Post receives the title of “Television’s Man of the Year” and the emcee mistakenly identifies Post as the president of UBC.

A Comedy of Errors

Many humorous incidents occur as network president E. J. Crampton (Harry Morgan) and former vice-president Francis X. Wilbanks (Joe Flynn) try to discover Post’s secret to success.

One toady (John Ritter) sees a bunch of bananas in Post’s apartment, and another hears sounds coming from Post’s closet, intensifying the surveillance of Post and his chimpanzee.

The Climactic Decision

Fearing the truth about the chimpanzee’s abilities will end television as they know it, the executives attempt to steal the chimpanzee and return it to the jungle.

Wilbanks and his chauffeur, Albert Mertons (Wally Cox), end up stranded on a ledge outside Post’s apartment, sparking a chain of events that lead to a surprising conclusion.

Happy Endings

Post ultimately decides to refund the $1,000,000 offered for the chimpanzee, reuniting with Jennifer and setting off on their honeymoon with Raffles as their pet.

The movie concludes with the Posts driving down the expressway, as a radio announcement reveals Post’s resignation from UBC but expresses well wishes for his future endeavors.
