It’s a snapshot of an era by way of a big, broad lampoon of stereotypes and caricatures, basically a spoof of the same culture that 'Mad Men' would take on decades later with a far more sophisticated approach.

Adding financial insult to artistic injury, it earned even less than the same year's more roundly panned musicals Camelot and Doctor Dolittle. That's a shame.

It least as funny as the old gamesmanship routines, and amiably dedicated to the proposition that any true company man is a rabbit in weasel's clothing.

The breezy manner with which the musical sends up the era's corporate chicanery and heedless sexism... couldn't be further from Mad Men's deadpan cool.
