Live Now, Pay Later

Live Now, Pay Later is a 1962 British black-and-white comedy-drama film directed by Jay Lewis and starring Ian Hendry, June Ritchie and John Gregson.

Unsavoury door-to-door salesman Albert Argyle's technique involves bedding his female customers in an attempt to seduce them to buy on credit.

A version of the opening titles song "Live Now, Pay Later" (Clive Westlake, Ruth Batchelor) was released in 1963 as a single by Doug Sheldon (Decca 45-F 11529).

"[7] Leslie Halliwell opined: "A satirical farce which lets fly in too many directions at once and has a cumulatively cheerless effect despite some funny moments.

Hendry's character is appalling, yet he is also sympathetic since he's the only person who ever does anything in a society built on inertia and the sense of defeat that ony wartime victory can bring.
