How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967) - The Company Way Scene (2/10) | Movieclips

[@t.s.t.4085]

I'm 57, and participated (sang/danced) in this musical in the mid 80's in high school. It was somewhat controversial then for teens to sing/dance to this musical:) I respect our Musical Director so much for having the temerity to put this out. I still sing the songs today, and the lyrics to so many songs, are so relevant to the issues of today:)

[@FebraciousOne]

I got to enjoy this movie in my theatre class and its still one of the best musicals that I have seen. Some classics will never die.

[@Himaryous]

After decades in the workforce this song hits different.

[@Raiden4019]

Hello, is that existential dread as the prequel to a mid-life crisis I hear!? 😃

[@alexcorigliano5284]

I bet that dude would snitch on Union organizers.

[@YourFriendAli]

Don't underestimate the the way the actors in the background freeze and become part of the background. It's a subtle add, but it's a really cool theatrical device to make us look at the two main singers, but used on film :)

[@GregStallion]

I've spent my entire life dissecting the choreography of this film. Lol

[@DooWops4U2]

RIP Mr Morse Thanks for the memories you will be missed. I loved all your great performances

[@t.s.t.4085]

This is a lesser appreciated song of this wonderful, salient musical. Listen to the lyrics, and extrapolate to today's issues:) Enjoy...

Is anyone else just finding out that Republican Town isn’t an original song?

[@McSuperfly101]

If you hear a catchy song on Family Guy, chances are it was originally from some old musical made years ago that Seth MacFarlane is a fan of.

I watched this movie a few days ago and it is now my favorite movie

[@JT26blue]

Alwas loved this movie. This scene was really great and yes, atill very true today but my favourite is when the big boss comes in to the office early and Robert Morse makes sure it looks like he's been there working all night... even starts knitting becuase he found out that the boss does it secretly.

[@BookshelfQBattler]

I gotta be honest ambition really did me in when I was young. My life didn’t get better until my 30s when I too became a company man. If only I’d seen this sooner and become a spineless jellyfish if an employee early.

[@evilsheepmaster1744]

Matter of opinion. If you want consistency and stability, being a company man would be the dream, but if you have bigger ambitions, 25 years in the same job sounds like a nightmare.

[@brandonking1737]

Is no one going to mention all the background actors freeze in place when the music starts? I can't imagine how difficult it would be to hold those positions for the whole song.

[@karlakor]

I had not noticed the lack of movement among the background actors until you brought it to my attention. I did notice, however, the same thing in Easter Parade while Judy Garland and Fred Astaire were singing All Aboard for Alabam' and dancing together. No one in the background moved a muscle. It must be a difficult thing to do in a movie, but to do it night after night in a live Broadway show must be exhausting.

[@roninjoey]

Watch the whole movie, they do that a lot.

[@NihilisticSnake]

That's likely just a background snapshot. Notice throughout the song the singers are in the same place. It's to add to the illusion.

[@Bravefalcon75]

My two nephews just did this play at their high school and these were the parts they had so they got to do this duet together. It was pretty great. As for the play itself, I enjoyed it but I was actually a little surprised a high school in 2022 would do it. Both because it was pretty racy at times and also very politically incorrect by today's standards. Kudos to the head of their drama department for having the stones. LOL! 😂

[@Himaryous]

When my high school did it they cut the racy stuff.

[@NoPowerintheVerse]

My high school didn't cut anything. But that was also 20 years ago.
