Finch (Robert Morse) is a greenhorn, just arrived in Manhattan. However, on the shelves of the corner refreshment stand is a small book. Entitled How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, it puts forth a step by step plan to rise quickly to the top of a major corporation. What a discovery! And, soon, Finch puts the book into action as he arrives at the threshold of a big firm. Before long, he has a job in the mailroom, although the company is "not really hiring at this time" and he is not there long. In the wink of an eye, he is a junior exec! That book knows its stuff. However, because Finch is working his way up by flattering the head honcho's (Rudy Vallee) secretary and devoting himself to knowing the personal likes of the other important bigwigs, he is really an exec with feet of clay. How long before they give him the boot? Also, although Finch doesn't want any romantic attachments at the moment, he can't help but notice the lovely secretarial worker, Rosemary (Michelle Lee) who, likewise, has eyes for him. Will there be an office romance, too? This is a nice film version of the classic musical with songs like "A Secretary is not a Toy" and other sly digs at the corporate environment. The cast is nice and can truly sing. What a treat to see Vallee, who was entertaining folks before the second World War! Lee does a fine job, too, and Morse is enjoyable as the astute "faker", with a demeanor and hairstyle that recalls Jerry Lewis. All students of the sixties will savor the sets, costumes, and amenities as a quick trip back in time and the direction is lively and sure. As for the songs, they are definitely hummable. Since musicals are truly a rare animal in the 21st century, why not look for this one on the next trip to the store, all you fans of showtunes? How to have fun in the home theater is this flick's credo.
