HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING began rehearsals on August
3, 1961 and opened on October 14, 1961 at the 46th Street Theatre in New
York City, where it ran for over 3 years, 1,417 performances, closing in
March of 1965, making it the fifth longest running musical of that time.
It was Frank Loesser s longest running musical. The show reunited
the GUYS AND DOLLS 1950 team of
Frank Loesser music
and lyrics, Abe Burrows
book, Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin producers. In addition, Feuer
and Martin had worked previously with Loesser on WHERE S CHARLEY. 1948
and with Burrows on CAN-CAN 1953 and SILK STOCKINGS 1955.
The property originated in 1952 as a satiric book by Shepherd Mead,
an advertising executive at Benton and Bowles. Jack Weinstock and Willie
Gilbert bought the stage rights and adapted it for the theatre, but it was
never produced.
The first and only choice for the role of J. Pierpont Finch was
Robert Morse, who had appeared
in SAY, DARLING 1958 directed and co-authored by Burrows, THE MATCHMAKER
and TAKE ME ALONG 1959. In OPEN A NEW WINDOW 2001, Ethan Mordden
calls him the only actor in history with a likable smirk. Burrows
and Loesser tailored the part of Finch especially for him. In addition
to winning the Tony for HOW TO SUCCEED, he won one for his portrayal of Truman
Capote in the one-man show TRU 1990. On January 31, 2000, he was
inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame; the minimum requirement for induction
is 25 years in the theatre with at least
5 Broadway appearances.
The role of J.B. Biggley was initially offered to
Terry-Thomas, but when negotiations broke down, they turned to
Rudy Vallee, who had not
appeared on Broadway since GEORGE WHITE S SCANDALS OF 1935.
Musical staging was by
Bob Fosse;
Hugh Lambert choreographed the Pirate number, THE YO-HO-HO, a satire of TV
choreography, which is not on the original cast album, and Fosse did the
rest.
Charles
Nelson Reilly went on to appear in the sitcom THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR
1968 and was a guest panelist on a number of game shows, such as MATCH
GAME and HOLLYWOOD SQUARES. He additionally became a director of stage
shows, including several which starred Julie Harris. Of the chorus,
Donna McKechnie went on
to the most visible career, appearing in the original cast of
COMPANY 1970,
creating a role in the original cast of A CHORUS LINE 1975, marrying the
director-choreographer, Michael Bennett, and starring in revivals of many
well known musicals. Lanier Davis put his performing career on hold
for a time and became the stage manager of
WAIT A MINIM. 1966.
The original cast album was recorded October 22, 1961 in Webster Hall, New
York City. The show was an immediate success, garnering many favorable
reviews and repaid its investors in just 21 weeks. It won seven Tony
awards including Best Musical, Leading Actor in a Musical Robert Morse,
Featured Actor in a Musical Charles Nelson Reilly, Outstanding Director
of a Musical Abe Burrows, Outstanding Author, Musical Play Burrows, Weinstock
and Gilbert Outstanding Conductor and Musical Director Elliot Lawrence
and Outstanding Musical Producer Feuer and Martin. Only Loesser lost
out, when the Outstanding Composer award went to Richard Rodgers for NO STRINGS.
Additionally, it won the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A London
production followed starring Warren Berlinger and Billy DeWolfe; there were
also productions in Paris, Australia, Israel, Denmark and Japan as well as
two national tours.
It was made into a film in
1967 with Rudy Vallee, Robert Morse, Sammy Smith and Ruth Kobart recreating
their roles from the original Broadway cast; in addition to Michele Lee who
had replaced Bonnie Scott early in the Broadway run and Maureen Arthur who
had played Hedy LaRue on the road and as a replacement on Broadway. The
film dumped most of Rosemary s songs and compensated by having her sing I
BELIEVE IN YOU to Finch after their dinner date. The production numbers
COFFEE BREAK and PARIS ORIGINAL disappeared as well, although the latter
is heard as background music. CINDERELLA DARLING and LOVE FROM A HEART
OF GOLD also were cut.
Much to my regret, I did not get to see HOW TO SUCCEED on Broadway where
Bobby Morse played Finch for nearly two years. However, it was such
a success that it was revived some years after with Bobby Morse and Rudy
Vallee on a circuit of summer theatres some of them in tents and this is
where I finally got to see the two original stars at the Valley Forge Music
Fair on July 23, 1970 when a Row D ticket cost 5.25. I had previously
seen the show, also at the Valley Forge Music Fair in 1966 with Darryl Hickman
and Allan Jones in the leads. And I saw the 1995 revival with Matthew
Broderick and Ronn Carroll, when a first row orchestra seat cost a whopping
67.50. Matthew Broderick won the Tony for the role of Finch as well.
One thing that surprised me when I saw the Broderick revival is how
fast paced the show was; it seemed to zoom from one great musical number
to the next. One of my regrets about not seeing the original production
on Broadway was missing the wonderful cartoony sets, which were big, brightly
colored cutouts, designed by Robert Randolph, who also designed
SWEET CHARITY,
FUNNY GIRL,
LITTLE ME and
BYE, BYE, BIRDIE.

How To
Click
here
for a 30-second excerpt from the original cast album of HOW TO.
The show opens with Finch on a scaffold suspended outside the New York
headquarters of World Wide Wickets. He is dressed as a window washer.
I can t remember how this was staged in a tent in the round. Finch
is very ambitious as he reads from a guidebook called HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS
WITHOUT REALLY TRYING:
How to--apply for a job;
How to--advance from the mail room;
How to--sit down at a desk;
How to--dictate memorandums;
How to--develop executive style;
How to commute
In a three-button suit,
With that weary executive smile.
This book is all that I need:
How to--how to--succeed.
How to--observe personnel;
How to--select whom to lunch with;
How to--avoid petty friends;
How to--begin making contacts;
How to walk into a conference room
With an idea--brilliant business idea--
That will make your expense account zoom.
Entering the building, Finch literally bumps into the company president,
J.B. Biggley. Finch is also spotted by Rosemary, a secretary. Finch
casually mentions bumping into Biggley to Mr. Bratt, head of personnel,
and manages to land a job in the mailroom. In OPEN A NEW WINDOW 2001,
Ethan Mordden describes this opening by saying that Morse made a gala entrance,
as the first of the cast to be seen, lowered from the flies as a widow washer.
.. As he reached the song s end, he unstrapped himself, stepped onto
the street, and, as the building rose, found himself in the lobby of the
World Wide Wickets Company, Inc. Now comes the other star entrance:
in the confusion of a scene filled with rushing people, Morse collided
with someone, and the two of them crashed to the floor in a perfectly balanced
setting as everyone else backed away and looked aghast. To the right, Morse.
To the left, Rudy Vallee, as the CEO. What followed moved so
quickly that, before the scene was over, we had met Morse s love object Bonnie
Scott, her sidekick Claudette Sutherland, his nemesis, Vallee s nephew
Charles Nelson Reilly, and a sample executive Paul Reed.
Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm
for a 30-second excerpt from the original cast album of HAPPY TO KEEP HIS
DINNER WARM.
Already smitten with Finch, Rosemary fantasizes about life married to him.
New Rochelle, New Rochelle,
That s the place where the mansion will be
For me and the darling bright young man
I ve picked out for marrying me.
He ll do well, I can tell,
So it isn t a moment too soon
To plan on my life in New Rochelle,
The wife of my darling tycoon.
I ll be so happy to keep his dinner warm
While he goes onward and upward;
Happy to keep his dinner warm
Till he comes wearily home from down town.
I ll be there waiting until his mind is clear
While he looks through me, right through me;
Waiting to say, Good evening, dear.
I m pregnant. What s new with you from down town.
Oh, to be loved by a man I respect;
To bask in the glow of his perfectly understandable neglect.
Oh, to belong in the aura of his frown--darling busy frown.
Such heaven--wearing the wifely uniform
While he goes onward and upward.
Coffee Break
for a 30-second excerpt from the original cast album of COFFEE BREAK.
Bob Fosse created a very funny dance for Charles Nelson Reilly and the
singing and dancing ensemble to perform to this ominous cha cha about how
addicted everyone is to coffee that when they can t get it, they go crazy.
They scream, they faint; one dancer even falls into the orchestra pit
Fosse used this bit in the opening of SWEET CHARITY, as well, only this
time it was the star, Gwen Verdon, who gets pushed into the pit which is
meant to be the Central Park lake.
There s no coffee. No coffee. Oh.
If I can t take my coffee break,
My coffee break, my coffee break. . .
Something within me dies.
Lies down and something within me dies.
If I can t make three daily trips
Where shining shrine
Benignly drips
And taste cardboard between my lips,
No coffee. No coffee. No coffee.
No coffee. No coffee.
That office light doesn t have to be fluorescent;
I ll get no pains in the head.
That office chair doesn t have to be foam rubber;
So if I spread, so I spread;
But only one chemical substance
Gets out the lead--
Like she said:
Gone is the sense of enterprise
All gone, and something within me dies.
No coffee.
Somehow the soul no longer tries;
Somewhere I don t metabolize;
Something within me. . .
Coffee or otherwise,
Something inside of me dies.
The Company Way
here for a 30-second excerpt from the original cast album of THE COMPANY WAY.
Mr. Twimble, head of the mail room, has worked for the company for 25
years; all of them in the mail room. Finch s book advises him the mailroom
is a place from which to escape as soon as possible. When he is offered
a mail room promotion, Finch turns it down, recommending Frump, the boss
unscrupulous nephew.
Twimble:When I joined this firm
As a brash young man,
Well, I said to myself,
Now, brash young man,
Don t get any ideas.
Well, I stuck to that,
And I haven t had one in years.Finch:You play it safe.Twimble:I play it the company way;
Wherever the company puts me
There I stay.Finch:But what is your point of view.Twimble:I have no point of view.Finch:Supposing the company thinks. . . Twimble:I think so too.Finch:Now, what would you say. . . .Twimble:I wouldn t say.Finch:Your face is a company face.Twimble:It smiles at executives
Then goes back in place.Finch:The company furniture.Twimble:Oh, it suits me fine.Finch:The company letterhead.Twimble:A valentine.Finch:Anything you re against.Twimble:Unemployment.Finch:When they want brilliant thinking
From employeesTwimble:That is no concern of mine.Finch:Suppose a man of genius
Makes suggestions.Twimble:Watch that genius get suggested to resign.Finch:So you play it the company way.Twimble:All company policy is by me OK.Finch:You ll never rise up to the top.Twimble:But there s one thing clear:
Whoever the company fires,
I will still be here.Finch:Oh, you certainly found a home.Twimble:It s cozy.Finch:Your brain is a company brain.Twimble:The company washed it,
Now I can t complain.Finch:Hey, the company magazine.Twimble:Oh, what style, what punch.Finch:The company restaurant.Twimble:Ev ry day same lunch:
Their haddock sandwich; it s delicious.Finch:I must try it.Twimble: Early in the week. Finch:Do you have any hobbies.Twimble:I ve a hobby; I play gin with Mr. Bratt.Finch:Mr. Bratt. And do you play it nicely.Twimble:Play it nicely. . . still, he blitzes me
In every game, like that.Finch:Why.Twimble: Cause I play it the company way.
Executive policy is by me OK.Finch:Oh, how can you get anywhere.Twimble:Junior, have no fear;
Whoever the company fires,
I will still be here.Finch:You will still be here.Both:Year after year after fiscal,
Never take a risk-al year.Frump:Oh, me too, me too, Mr. Twimble.
I know exactly what you mean.
From now on. . .
I ll play it the company way,
There ll I ll stay.
Whatever the company tells him
That he ll do.
Whatever my uncle may think,
I think so too.
He s beaming with company pride.
I ve conquered that overambitious rat inside.
Old Bud is no longer the Frump he used to be.
I pledge to the company sweet conformity.
I will someday earn my medal:
Twenty-five year employee.
I ll see to it that the medal
Is the only thing they ll ever pin on me.
The Frump way is the company way.
Executive policy is by him OK.
I ll never be president,
But there s one thing clear,
As long as my uncle can stand me,
I will still be here.
We know the company may like or lump any man,
And if they choose to the company may dump any man;
But they will never dump Frump, the company man.
Frump will play it the company,
Frump will play it the company way.
Since he turned down the mailroom promotion, Finch is free to be promoted
into a more interesting junior executive position.
A Secretary is Not a Toy
This number was originally written as a waltz for Rudy Vallee. During
the out of town previews, this number wasn t going very well and Bob Fosse
got the idea to restage it as a soft shoe for the dancing ensemble.
Loesser was so impressed when Fosse demonstrated the revised staging,
he wrote new lyrics. This number makes wonderful use of the sound of
a typewriter and other percussive punctuation of the sort that occurs regularly
in numbers choreographed by Bob Fosse like the ssst sounds in STEAM HEAT
and the finger snaps in RAZZLE DAZZLE. Biggley has arranged for his
close friend, the well built Hedy LaRue, to be hired as a secretary. The
executives compete to have Hedy assigned to them, despite the warnings of
Mr. Bratt. For a 30-second soundbyte from the original Broadway cast

Gentlemen. Gentlemen.
A secretary is not a toy,
No, my boy, not a toy
To fondle and dandle and playfully handle
In search of some puerile joy.
No, a secretary is not,
Definitely not, a toy.
You re absolutely right, Mr. Bratt.
We wouldn t have it any other way, Mr. Bratt.
It s a company rule, Mr. Bratt.
No, my boy, not a toy.
So do not go jumping for joy, boy.
A secretary is not. . .
A secretary is not a toy.
A secretary is not to be
Used for play therapy.
Be good to the girl you employ, boy.
Remember no matter what
Neurotic trouble you ve got
She s a highly specialized key component
Of operational unity,
A fine and sensitive mechanism
To serve the office community.
With a mother at home she supports;
And you ll find nothing like her at FAO Schwarz.
A secretary is not a pet
Nor an e-rector set.
It happened to Charlie McCoy, boy:
They fired him like a shot
The day the fellow forgot
And when you put her to use. . .
Observe when you put her to use. . .
That you don t find the name Lionel
On her caboose.
A secretary is not a thing
Wound by key, pulled by string.
Her pad is to write in
And not spend the night in.
If that s what you plan to enjoy.
No..
The secretary ya got,
Is definitely not
Employed to do a gavotte,
Or you know what.
Before you jump for joy,
Remember this, my boy,
A secretary is not
A tinkertoy.
Been a Long Day
Rosemary s friend, Smitty, helps her maneuver Finch into having dinner with
Rosemary. Ethan Mordden, writing in OPEN A NEW WINDOW 2001, describes
this as Claudette Sutherland more or less reads Morse and Scott s thought
balloons for us. Not included on the original cast LP is a reprise
sung by Frump, Biggley and Hedy. For a 30-second soundbyte from
the original Broadway cast album, click

Smitty:Well, here it is five pm,
The finish of a long day s work;
And there they are, both of them,
The secretary and the clerk.
Not very well acquainted;
Not very much to say;
But I can hear those two little minds
Tickin away.
Now she s thinking:Rosemary:I wonder if we take the same bus.Smitty:And he s thinking:Finch:There could be quite a thing between us.Smitty:Now she s thinking:Rosemary:He really is a dear.Smitty:And he s thinking:Finch:But what of my career.Smitty:And she says:Rosemary:Hmm.Smitty:And he says:Finch:A hum heh.
Well, it s been a long day.All:Well, it s been a long,
Been a long, been a long,
Been a long day.Smitty:Now, she s thinking:Rosemary:I wish that he were more of a flirt.Smitty:And he s thinking:Finch:I guess a little flirting won t hurt.Smitty:Now she s thinking:Rosemary:For dinner we could meet.Smitty:And he s thinking:Finch:We both have got to eat.Smitty:And she says:Rosemary:Achoo.Smitty:And he says:Finch:Gesundheit.
Been a long day.Smitty:Hey, there s a yummy Friday special at Stouffer s;
It s a dollar ninety vegetable plate
And on the bottom of the ad--not bad--
Service for two, three-fifty-eight.
To make a bargain, make a date. Rosemary:Wonderful.Finch:It s fate.Smitty:Now she s thinking:Rosemary:What female kind of trap could I spring.Smitty:And he s thinking:Finch:I might as well forget the whole thing.Smitty:Now, she s thinking:Rosemary:Suppose I take his arm.Smitty:And he s thinking:Finch:Well, really what s the harm.Smitty:And she says:Rosemary:Hungry.Smitty:And he says:Finch:Yeah.Rosemary:Yeah.Smitty:Yeah.All:Well, it s been a long day.
Well, it s been a long,
Been a long day.
Grand Old Ivy
Finch has charmed Miss Jones, Biggley s dragon of a secretary, into revealing
the boss s college affiliation. At the same time, he learns Biggley
will be stopping by the office Saturday morning to pick up his golf clubs.
Arriving seconds before the boss, Finch strews empty coffee cups and
papers around and musses up himself, as if he had been working all night,
then he pretends to be asleep at his desk. Biggley is suitably impressed
that Finch is so dedicated. Finch hums the song from Biggley s college,
and when this inspires the boss to sing it, Finch chimes in a beat behind,
because he is really unfamiliar with the words. For a 30-second
soundbyte from the original Broadway cast album, click
Groundhog. Groundhog.
Stand, Old Ivy, stand firm and strong.
Grand Old Ivy, hear the cheering throng.
Stand, Old Ivy, and never yield.
Rip, rip, rip the chipmunk off the field.
When you fall on the ball
And you re down there at the bottom of the heap,
Down at the bottom of the heap.
Where the mud is oh so very, very deep,
Down in the cruddy, muddy, deep.
Don t forget, boy,
That s why they call us,
They call us
Finch is given a small office and Hedy is assigned as his secretary, but
he realizes from her lack of secretarial skills she is dangerous to be around;
he arranges for her to cross paths with his skirt-chasing boss, Mr. Gatch.
Soon Gatch is transferred to Venezuela and Finch is promoted to his
job.
Paris Original
The employees are invited to a company dance to celebrate the appointment
of a new Vice-President of Advertising. Hoping to entice Finch, Rosemary
splurges on a Paris designer dress, but all the other female employees, including
Miss Jones, attend wearing the same dress. For a 30-second soundbyte
from the original Broadway cast album, click
I slipped out this afternoon
And bought some love insurance:
A most exclusive dress from gay Paree.
It s sleek and chic and magnifique
With sex beyond endurance.
It s me, it s me, it s absolutely me;
And why. One guy.
This irresistible Paris original
I m wearing tonight,
I m wearing tonight
Specially for him.
This irresistible Paris original s
All paid for and mine;
I must look devine
Suddenly he will see me
And suddenly he ll go dreamy
And blame it all on his own
Masculine whim,
Never knowing that
This irresistible Paris original,
So temptingly tight
Specially for him, for him.
She s wearing tonight
And I could spit.
Some irresponsible dress manufacturer
Just didn t play fair.
I m one of a pair,
And I could---oh no.
All slinky with sin;
Already slunk in
And I could die.
And I could kill her.
Tres sexy, n est pas.
God damn it, voila
Thirty-nine bucks I hand out
For something to make me stand out
And suddenly I ve gone into mimeograph.
Some laugh.
This mass-produced crime,
For the very last time.
Rosemary
Frump, who views Finch as the main rival to his own ambitions, arranges for
Hedy and Finch to be caught alone in Biggley s office. When Hedy kisses
Finch, he suddenly realizes he loves Rosemary. Rosemary arrives and
thinks the worst when she spots Hedy in a towel because she s used Biggley s
shower, until Finch convinces her it is Rosemary he loves. Bobby Morse,
who was so adorably boyish as Finch, does a wonderful mime in this number,
of being hit by cupid s arrow and trying to tug it out. The second
time Finch sings what a crescendo, the orchestra plays nine bars of Grieg s
piano concerto while Finch stands transfixed by the thought of kissing Rosemary.

Finch:Suddenly there is music
In the sound of your name:
Rosemary. Rosemary.
Was the melody locked inside me
Till at last out it came.
Just imagine if we kissed.
What a crescendo, not to be missed.
As for the rest of my lifetime program,
Give me more of the same:
There is wonderful music in the very sound
Of your name.Rosemary:Ponty, what are you talking about.Finch:Rosemary, the most wonderful thing has happened. Oh, can t you

J. Pierrepont
Boy, when you see it on your own door,
There is wonderful music

Of your name.
Biggley learns the new Vice-President of Advertising is from Old Ivy s rival
college, a chipmunk, so he fires him and gives Finch the job. Now
Rosemary will be Finch s secretary. Rosemary is not very pleased that
after Finch declares his love, he seems more excited about this promotion
than interested in her; and Frump plots revenge as the first act ends.

Cinderella, Darling
As Act II opens, in a misunderstanding about Finch and Hedy, Rosemary quits,
but Smitty begs her to reconsider. For a 30-second soundbyte
How often does it happen
That a secretary s boss
Wants to marry her.
Halleluia.
How often does the dream come true
Without a sign of conflict
Or barrier.
Why treat the man
Like he was a typhoid carrier.
How often can you fly
From this land of carbon paper
To the land of flowered chinz.
How often does a Cinderella
Get a crack at the prince.
Cinderella and the prince.
Don t you realize
You re a real live fairy tale,
A symbol devine.
So if not for your own sake,
Please darling, for mine.
Don t, don t, don t, Cinderella, darling,
Don t turn down the prince.
Don t rewrite your story.
You re the legend, the folk lore,
The working girl s dream of glory.
We were raised on you, darling,
And we ve loved you ever since.
Don t mess up a major miracle;
Don t, Cinderella, don t turn down the prince.
Oh, let us live it with you,
Each hour of each day:
On from Bergdorf Goodman
To Elizabeth Arden
In the station wagon
Hurry from Twenty-One
To the Tarrytown PTA.
No, New Rochelle.
New Rochelle PTA.
Oh, do not leave us minus
Our vicarious bonus.
We want to see his highness
Married to your lowness.
On you, Cinderella, sits the onus;
So when you name the happy day,
Please phone us.
But don t, don t, don t, Cinderella, darling,
Why spoil our enjoyment.
You re the fable, the symbol
Of glorified unemployment.
Don t louse up our fav rite fairy tale;
Don t, Cinderella,
Don t, don t, don t,
Don t, Cinderella, don t,
All right. I ll give him one more chance.
As Vice-President of Advertising, Finch must come up with a big idea to
promote the company. Frump, pretending to be friends, offers the idea
of a giveaway game show. Rosemary and Finch make up.
Love From a Heart of Gold
Hedy decides to leave the company as well, but Biggley begs her to stay:
Where will I find a treasure
Like the love from a heart of gold.
Ever trusting and sweet
And awaiting my pleasure,
Rain or shine, hot or cold.
Wealth far beyond all measure
Maybe here in my hands I ll hold.
Ah, but where will I find
That one treasure of treasures.
The love from a heart of gold.
Hedy gives Biggley 24 hours to come up with a suitable, non-secretarial job
for her.
I Believe in You
Prior to the big boardroom meeting, the executives gather in the executive
washroom to plot against Finch. Finch, meantime, looks into a mirror
and gives himself a pep talk. This was very cleverly staged with Finch
facing the audience while he talked to himself, but really playing directly
to the audience; the orchestra played kazoos to mimic the sound of electric
razors as the executives shaved their faces, while worrying about how to
stop Finch. For a 30-second soundbyte from the original Broadway
cast album, click

Executives:Gotta stop that man,
I gotta stop that man cold. . .
Or he ll stop me.
Big deal, big rocket,
Thinks he has the world
In his pocket.
Gotta stop, gotta stop,
Gotta stop that man.Finch:Now there you are;
Yes, there s that face,
That face that somehow I trust.
It may embarrass you to hear me say it,
But say it I must, say it I must:
You have the cool, clear
Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth;
Yet there s that upturned chin
And that grin of impetuous youth.
Oh, I believe in you.
I believe in you.
I hear the sound of good, solid judgment
Whenever you talk;
Yet there s the bold, brave spring of the tiger
That quickens your walk.
And when my faith in my fellow man
All but falls apart,
I ve but to feel your hand grasping mine
And I take heart; I take heart
To see the cool, clear
Yet, with the slam-bang tang
Reminiscent of gin and vermouth.
I believe in you.Executives:Gotta stop that man,
Gotta stop that man. . .
Big wheel, big beaver,
Boiling hot
With front office fever.
Gotta stop that man.Finch:Oh, I believe in you.Executives:Don t let him be such a hero.Finch:I believe in you.
You. You. Mwah.
It turns out that Biggley is well known to hate giveaway games shows, which
Frump banked on, but Finch is able to persuade him to try the idea by featuring
Hedy as the Treasure Hunt Girl at the presentation. The treasure is
stock in the company and only Finch and Biggley are supposed to know where
it is hidden. However, when Hedy is asked on TV to swear on a
Bible she doesn t know where the prizes are hidden, she blurts out the ten
locations. TV viewers watching the broadcast storm the buildings, causing
a lot of destruction as they try to find the hidden loot. And all the
blame goes to Finch, to the delight of Frump and the other executives.
Brotherhood of Man
At the meeting where Finch has been summoned to be chewed out and probably
fired, Finch encounters Wally Womper, the Chairman. Finch is ready
to sign his resignation and go back to his job as window washer; but it turns
out Womper started as a window washer as well and is willing to hear Finch
out. As they discuss the disaster, it emerges that the giveaway gameshow
was all Frump s idea. Frump is now the one in disgrace, as Finch reminds
Womper of the kinship with his fellow men. For a 30-second soundbyte
Now, you may join the Elks, my friend,
And I may join the Shriners;
And other men may carry cards
As members of the Diners.
Still others wear a golden key
Or small Greek letter pin;
But I have learned there s one great club
That all of us are in.
There is a Brotherhood of Man,
A Benevolent Brotherhood of Man,
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
Into one Brotherhood of Man.
Your lifelong membership is free.
Keep agivin each brother all you can.
Oh aren t you proud to be
In that fraternity,
The great big Brotherhood of Man.
So, Wally, before you consider firing everybody, remember this:
One man may seem incompetent,
Another not make sense,
While others look like quite a waste
Of company expense.
They need a brother s leadership,
So please don t do them in.
Remember mediocrity
Is not a mortal sin.
They re in the Brotherhood of Man,
Dedicated to giving all we can.
Oh, aren t you proud to be
You, you got me;
Me, I got you, you.
Oh, that noble feeling,
Feels like bells are pealing,
Down with double-dealing,
Oh Brother.
Womper announces his retirement as Chairman; he and his new wife, the former
Hedy LaRue, are leaving for a honeymoon trip around the world. Womper
appoints Finch the new Chairman, but Finch first checks with his wife, Rosemary,
before he accepts. Rosemary says she doesn t care if he s in the mailroom
or the Chairman or President of the United States. Finch s ambition
is fired by this last suggestion.
Finale
Frump appears outside, washing the windows as he reads his copy of the guidebook
HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, as the executive sing about
the departed Frump, for whom they shed a mournful tear. In its
only improvement over the stage show, the last scene of the film shows Finch
up to his old tricks, as a window washer at the White House, where the actor
playing the President looks like LBJ. For a 30-second soundbyte
We play it the company way;
Executive policy is by us okay.
Though for the departed we shed
A mournful tear,
Whoever the company fires,
We will still be here.
