Suggestion: The Secret of My Success

[edit]

I won't add it lest it somehow conflict with one of Wiki's billion incessant content rules, but I would suggest the disambiguation section might mention the Michael J Fox film, The Secret Of My Success with which it could easily be confused, or at least compared to. In fact, the wiki piece on TSOMS itself, under "critical reception", includes a note by noted film critic Vincent Canby recognizing the similarities...
However, Vincent Canby, writing in The New York Times, felt it was "close to inspired when the ambitious Brantley finds himself leading two lives", although he noted that "Hanging over The Secret of My Success is the long shadow of Frank Loesser's classic musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."[6]
