“We’ll long wait for a better musical film than How to Succeed…David Swift has done nothing to diminish the wit, the sparkle, and the zing…the whole howling mockery of big business.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
“Savage satire and show tunes mix remarkably well…Embodies its smartass title in more ways than one…Cheerfully, openly rapacious and thus a good deal of fun.”
– Mike D’Angelo, The A.V. Club
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1967) is writer-director David Swift’s movie adaptation of the award-winning Broadway musical, featuring score and original choreography by a pair of legends: Frank Loesser and Bob Fosse. Gleefully reprising their Broadway roles as a scary-ambitious window cleaner and a befuddled company president are Robert Morse and Rudy Vallee, joined here by Michele Lee, Anthony Teague, and Maureen Arthur in an entertainingly vicious take on big business.
