Man's Favorite Sport. Big city sporting goods salesman (Rock Hudson) passes himself off as a fishing expert until he gets invited to an actual fishing tournament and doesn't know which end of the rod to hold. Paula Prentiss comes to his rescue and tries to teach him how to fish. Hilarity ensues.

And one I can't remember the title of about a slick advertising exec who was competing with the leading lady (maybe Doris Day, maybe Debbie Reynolds. I don't recall) and they were trying to sell something call "Vim" which wasn't even a real product. I'm kind of vague on the details, but I remember laughing out loud in the theater all those 50 years ago.
