Bob Dishy, (recreating the same role he played in 1976) is Sly's anxious business partner, Abner Truckle, who, although pathologically jealous and protective, is desperate enough to deliver his beautiful but innocent wife (Elizabeth Berkley) as Sly's "nurse".
Blatantly sexy Rachel York is Miss Fancy, the self-described "pleasure engineer" who wants Fox to declare paternity of her forthcoming baby thus assuring his wealth.
Fox' s servant and accomplice SImon Able proves the ultimate "sly fox", however, the good looking, mild mannered Eric Stoltz seems more accomodating than duplicitious, though victory is ultimately his.

 USATODAY.com - Dreyfuss able, but casting sinks 'Sly Fox'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
But as the young wife of Sly's greedy accountant, a sweetly pious bimbo with some potentially hilarious moments, Berkley brings to mind a nervous cheerleader appearing in her first high-school talent show.
While defending Sly's honor in a satirically rich trial scene, she blurts, "Do I have time for a quick Mass somewhere?" Her delivery is so bland and awkward that she might as well be asking a stage hand for her next cue.
Dreyfuss deftly handles both Sly's deadpan quips and his duplicitous stints as a sickly old man, and he is similarly impressive moonlighting as a corrupt judge in one scene.

 'Sly Fox' falls short of desired reaction - PittsburghLIVE.com
Better known is "Sly Fox," which Larry Gelbart adapted for Broadway in 1976 with Arthur Penn directing a cast that was headed by George C. Scott and featured Bob Dishy.
"Sly Fox" begs for extravagant idiosyncrasy by all involved, which is the way "The Producers" and Gelbart's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" invariably are directed.
What "Sly Fox" gets instead of snappy ensemble work are several people having isolated funny moments, like Pinchot with his irregular body twitching.

 HCC Theatre Sly Fox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
SLY FOX is a play about greed taken to extremes and has its roots in the Roman theatre.
We should realize that, first and foremost, SLY FOX is a burlesque on greed, an exaggeration of the absurd longing to possess wealth beyond reason or need.
Once he has embarked on this lifestyle, Sly’s world is re-created to serve only his needs, playing people for the fools he known them to be.

 Sly Fox, a CurtainUp review
He plays Sly a bit too laid back but is stronger when he pulls out the comic stops in his second act role as the Judge who presides over his own trial.
Eric Stoltz may at first seem too blandly handsome as Sly's servant, but it is that very blandness that lends a certain subtlety to his increasing skills at deception and works well as a counterpoint to Sly's more obvious craftiness.
Truckle the man whose sincerity Sly sees as written on both his faces proves the validity of that opinion when, impatient that Sly isn't trying hard enough to die as promised, he produces first a bottle of poison and then offers to smother him with the pillows on his four-poster bed.

 Aisle Say (Boston): SLY FOX
A few golden trinkets are displayed during the show, but otherwise, Sly's wealth is all but invisible in a trunk.
"Sly Fox"'s current revival, again directed by Arthur Penn, who helmed the Broadway success starring George C. Scott a quarter of a century ago, is very competently staged, handsomely appointed, predictably comic, but rather repetitive.
However, a stronger ending that got the whole cast back onstage would be more helpful to "Sly Fox." There's not enough chemistry between the two leads to make the current version more than mildly entertaining.

 It Has Its Pros, but One Big Con Trips Up 'Sly Fox' (washingtonpost.com)
"Sly Fox," a flimflamming farce of multiple cons based on Ben Jonson's "Volpone," has primo character parts for clowns of various stripes.
"Sly Fox" is first, last and always about the almighty buck: Gelbart's shenanigans, leavened by one-liners of the finest vintage, revolve around the efforts by assorted San Francisco skinflints, leeches and grifters to part the equally parasitic Sly from his bulging wallet.
Pinchot, Dishy and Auberjonois, as Sly's avaricious lawyer, accountant and pawnbroker, respectively, seem to waltz through their scenes with dollar signs in their eyes.

 Dispatch Review: Sly Fox - July 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
'Sly Fox' is one of the funniest plays I've seen in a long time, a machine-gun fast con-game sitcom with endless laughs, amusingly corrupt characters and a cynical tone that's just right.
Sly has found that his phony sickness allows him to wring money, gifts and services from a corrupt handful of local dignitaries -- including a lawyer, and accountant, a preacher and a prostitute.
The play takes this to an absurd, but hilarious, extreme before taking a turn for the moral when the jig is up, and then a few more twists for the clever and surprising as the protagonists squirm their way through their predicament.

 6 THE SLY OLD FOX
The fox complained that he could not sleep for all the noise, and asked one of the animals to fetch the sleeping pills from his medicine chest.
Shooting a fox in a mole hole is even easier than shooting fish in a rain barrel.
So while all the animals slept after the orgy, the fox made a mighty leap, ate the dozing rabbit guarding the pit, as also a sleeping quail, and chuckled off into the woods, as sly as ever.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: Sly Fox
Sly and Able weave a complex web of deception around Sly's bequeathment of his worldly goods that tests the morals of their marks, including Crouch's devotion to his naval officer son (Nick Wyman) and Truckle's for his pious yet gorgeous wife (Elizabeth Berkley).
Pinchot derives most of his comedy from his ability to barely contain his childlike glee at getting Sly's money; Auberjonois's performance is an ideal combination of addled brain and angular body; Dishy is a model of protective lasciviousness; and York throws a spicy dash of Mae West into her vampy portrayal.
If it's never exceptional, Sly Fox is thoroughly professional and almost as enjoyable, and it's likely to be the closest thing to comic gold you'll find on Broadway this season.

 Sly Fox Audience Review
Many of these funny moments happen without Sly -- or many of them when Sly is in the presence of the hopeful suitors for his riches whom he delights in setting against the others for his own amusement.
As bad as Sly is, as much as you might want to see if someone could defeat him, these combatants are so despicable that it is almost impossible to work up any sympathetic chord for their scheming -- with one notable exception.
And then there is Bronson Pinchot, pompous and reprehensible in his portrayal of Sly's lawyer, who would have made himself the heir in Sly's will long ago if he thought a court would let him get away with it.

 Crooked angles in sly Fox exposé   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Consisting almost entirely of interviews (Al Franken, James Wolcott and others) and of excerpts from Fox News, it seems as if it were recorded on a camcorder and narrated by a guy sitting in his kitchen with a microphone.
Of course, this line of questioning is naive because it assumes that at Fox, as in every other news organization, the reporting comes from the bottom up; that is, that reporters and editors find the stories, and that the stories find placement on the basis of their news value.
The grip that Fox exerts on its staff is illustrated by the case of John DuPre, a reporter assigned to cover the 90th birthday festivities at the Ronald Reagan presidential library three years ago.

The play was funny; it was a delight to see René Auberjonois in person performing his magic on the stage; it was an enjoyable afternoon in the theatre.
On June 27 I had the opportunity to see the Fox again, expecting to see a more polished version of what I had seen in March.
All the folks are the same (except that Bronson Pinchot was replaced that afternoon by Peter Scolari); most of the lines appear to be the same; but this was a whole different ball game.
