    A very funny movie , though the musical numbers were quite long causing the movie to last just over two hours.

    I was in this play in High School & then I saw it on stage with Ralph Macchio so maybe that is why I love it so much. Robert Morse plays such an oddball but its a huge turn on to Michele lee who by the way sounds incredible in this film. She has an amazing singing voice that is perfect for this style movie. I find this to be quite fun & anyone who has worked for a big business - you will love the comparisons. QUOTE: "If you have education, intelligence, and ability, so much the better. But, remember that thousands have reached the top without any of these qualities."

    There is some awesome choreography in this movie, very much reminiscent of the office scene in "Funny Face".

    Very humorous way of getting ahead in business... Some of the ideas do occur in real life today... When you're up, some people want to pull you down and others cheer for your success... Funny song lyrics... Michele Lee & Robert Morse were great together...

    I liked this musical very much. This despite only one memorable song, " I believe in You", and very little dancing. However it has a pleasant storyline with good actors and no real "down" moments.

    I really enjoyed this movie. I love musical and this one was really good and also shared with me the corporate game which is still being played today. I would have loved to shared this with my work teams. Also, the star actor was equivalent to Jerry Lewis which also a favorite actor of mine. I do plan on buying this to add to my musical collection.

    Waste of TIME!! Very Weak movie, DO NOT WATCH, if you do end up watching it, side effects may include: Suicide, murder ramapages, road ramapage, any kinds of ways of harming yourself, and many others...

    Oh man, I LOVED this movie! Robert Morse is the cutest Finch ever! Plus a line of guys do a penguin-esque walk. How could you go wrong?!

    Oh, my gosh. I like a fluffy musical! *gasp* I must officially die now... Oh, wait - it's a witty bit of fluff with Frank Loesser songs. *sits back up* That makes it okay. No, seriously, this is about as silly and meaningless as you can get, but whoever wrote the book was a genius because 'twas VERY fun in spite of its silliness. And again, Frank Loesser...how can you go wrong with Frank Loesser?
