Did anyone see this movie? I was in the pit orch for this musical back in high school so it brought back fond memories...
It was entertaining and clever, although very dated. Light, cute, etc. What else has Robert Morse (Finch) been in and what does everyone think of him? He stuck me as a sort of cross between Jerry Lewis and Jim Carey, but more toned down. Curious as to what everyone's opinion of this show is??

Also, Oklahoma came on right after it, but it was 11pm and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I wasn't aware that this was taped. Was that the most recent production?

I saw a tape of Robert Morse as Truman Capote in a one man show a few years ago and thought he was great. Other than that, I don't know, but How to Succeed does seem awfully dated.

I couldn't keep my eyes open when "Oklahoma" had intermission. Hugh was so good, and so handsome, he's a delightful thing to see before closing your eyes.

That's strange, it wasn't on at my house. It isn't even listed on PBS's website. ???
