Acclaimed director Nicholas Hytner, soon to take over London's National Theatre, couldn't solve the problem of how to turn Sweet Smell of Success, the film-noir classic, into a Broadway musical. Trevor Nunn's production of Oklahoma!, which won raves in London, failed to wow the critics in its Broadway debut. The problems can't be totally explained by union rules that usually prevent British casts from making the trip over here...
