Have you ever seen “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying?”

It’s one of the best written and funniest musicals ever.

Many years ago I performed that number on stage. (Hint - I wasn’t the Elf.) I still laugh every time I see it.

I didn’t see the play, but during the 1967 I heard a great deal about it being connected to the actor Robert Morse. I think he made the movie, which was a fun musical. Believe it or not Rudy Valee was in it as Jasper Biggley and Maureen Arthur was Hedy LaRue. The Wiki says that Robert Morse is still alive at 83 y/o. His height was only 5ft 5inches. Only Tom Cruise comes close to that these days. I always have admired actors and doctors because they make their living by using their memory. My memory is adequate, but less so as time moves on. A good actor actually becomes that person while in the role.
