* AntiHero: Finch, the protagonist, while thoroughly charming, is a conniving backstabber willing to do anything to climb the corporate ladder. Yet subverted at the same time by Robert Morse's film depiction of Finch, who is genuinely kind and respectful towards most of the characters (even Bud Frump) while nonetheless manipulating them for his ambitions, culminating in his saving his rivals' jobs (and putting them in debt to him) with the song "Brotherhood of Man". Some stage productions follow this film version of Finch while others follow the original edgier stage version of Finch.
