How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying

I have to admit, I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying this musical satire of the corporate system. Robert Morse plays a lowly window washer who comes across a book entitled "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" which he secretly utilizes to jump from mail room clerk to a vice president in a matter of days. Actually, some of the tips seemed rather practical and reasonable (some more dishonest than others). The infrequent musical numbers aren't overly impressive and the direction is nothing to stand and cheer about, but the script, the original source material (it was based on a Broadway play), and the likeability of the cast pull it through nicely. Plus, Maureen Arthur plays the best screen ditz since Jean Hagen's Lina Lamont in Singin' in the Rain.
