As Young as You Feel is a 1951 American comedy film directed by Harmon Jones and written by Lamar Trotti, based on a story by Paddy Chayefsky.
It stars Monty Woolley, Thelma Ritter, David Wayne, and Jean Peters, and features Marilyn Monroe in a small early role.
Dyeing his hair and beard black, he poses as Harold P. Cleveland, the president of his former employer's parent company, and goes on an inspection tour of his old workplace, with the firm's nervous, mystified executives in tow.
Afterward, Hodges complains about the lack of experienced, older employees, causing company president Louis McKinley to promise to rescind the retirement policy and rehire all those affected by it within the past year.
Frank Erickson, his rival for a promotion, and the entire Hodges family—son George, daughter-in-law Della, and Alice—all think Joe is crazy.
