...eagerness of a village fool. The tendency toward madness is also reflected in the executioner (Ned Marcus), who leaps and leers his way across the stage. Marcus' continual body motion and fast pace tend to be a bit too intense, but he is quite funny, and could be even funnier if he would slow down enough to let all the lines come across. His best moments are with the old maid, played by Diana Frothingham, who uses her convincingly expressive face to good advantage. The romantic leads are played by Paul Cawein as the minstrel, and Marietta Perl...
...dame-happy bachelor photographer whose major problems are to avoid marriage while at the same time trying to find a husband for his widowed sister (Rosemary De Camp), who does not particularly want one.

Eddic proudly tells anyone who will listen how his father predicted the "notorious spread of Marxism in the University...
There is an entertaining idea in uniting a 20th-century Faust with 20th Century-Fox. And Will Success, at its best, produces fresher, funnier and coarser lines than anything in The Seven Year Itch. Playwright Axelrod offers sex on the rocks and Hollywood in the raw, coaxes a few new laughs out of agents and Oscars, contrives short vaudevilles on such Hollywood problems as how to treat Boy-Meets-Girl stories. Jayne Mansfield makes an amusing siren and Martin Gabel a particularly skillful agent...
