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:)

After decades in the workforce this song hits different.

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.

[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 :)

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

[eddiej]

'never take a risk'll year' just next level writing

[rickcowan]

Viewing this brilliant duet on the day of Robert Morse's passing. We've lost a good one...

[jcam]

Just saw my niece in a High School version of this, I have to say those kids put on an amazing show .

[Marc-Tea]

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

[donaldoconner]

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

[JTblue]

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.

[brandonking]

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.

"Your brain is the company brain!"
"The company washed it and now I can't complain!"

OOF

[Juliaflo]

This musical is marking its 60th anniversary this year. Don't figure out my age---I remember when it premiered.

[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.

[seanstewart]

And still so true till this day.... Sadly

[photolynz]

What a fantastic ride darling man! Fly with the angles. 💋

[etrebelle]

SO current. This is how it is today in vast majority of places.

[gpan]

I also love "Old Ivy", but can't seem to find that clip from the movie.

[Matt-czti]

I was today years old when I realised Finch eventually became Bert Cooper on Mad Men 😮
