'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying' (1967)

On placing the blame:

J. B. Biggley (played by Rudy Vallee, not pictured): "I realize that I'm the president of this company, the man that's responsible for everything that goes on here. So, I want to state, right now, that anything that happened is not my fault."
