Live Now, Pay Later is a 1962 film starring Ian Hendry, John Gregson and June Ritchie that takes a blackly comic look at the 'affluent society' (a phrase introduced by John Galbraith's 1958 book of the same name). The Radio Times Guide to Films, which I picked up in a second hand bookshop recently, giving it 4 stars out of 5, describes it as:
Based on the novel All On The Never Never by Jack Lindsay, Live Now – Pay Later is both a comedy and a sharp and vivid commentary on the early 60s credit boom in Britain when the masses were enjoying a newfound spending power and learning to live beyond their means, thanks to the miracle of hire purchase.
This 1962 British film features Ian Hendry playing a manipulative door-to-door salesman named Albert Argyle to perfection. Albert is a personable, unethical "tally-man" who convincingly encourages housewives to purchase unnecessary items on credit.
