	Amazon.ca: What Makes Sammy Run?: Books: Budd Schulberg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It is the story of Sammy Glick, the man with a positive genius for being a heel, who runs through New York’s East Side, through newspaper ranks and finally through Hollywood, leaving in his wake the wrecked careers of his associates; for this is his tragedy and his chief characteristic—his congenital incapacity for friendship.
		But speculation as to his real identity would be utterly fruitless, for Sammy is a composite picture of a loud and spectacular minority bitterly resented by the many decent and sincere artists who are trying honestly to realize the measureless potentialities of motion pictures.
		In the course of finding out what makes Sammy run (an operation in which the reader is spared none of the grue-some details) Schulberg has poured out everything he has felt about that place.

	What Makes Sammy Run? - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sammy, who openly proclaims that he would consider himself a failure if he were still working as an office boy more than one year, starts his career by unscrupulously using people.
		Sammy's wedding is described by Manheim as "a marriage-to-end-all-marriages" staged in the beautiful setting of Sammy's estate.

	Zap2it - TV features - What Makes 'Sammy' Run
		"Sammy" splits Spade's split personality in two, with the actor voicing James, the wise-beyond-his-years wisecracker, and Sammy, the dad who pulls his dune buggy up to his son's Spanish-style villa one morning and hangs on for as long as there are hookers on Sunset.
		The latter personality begins to grate; like Papa Titus, his womanizing, beer-swilling hedonism and misguided mode of parenting are supposed to be funny for their lack of political correctness but are as annoying as actually spending time with such a character in real life would be.
		The introductory episode opens with James floating face down in his backyard pool and, in keeping with the allusion, Sammy ends up planning to stay until his car is fixed, although the roles are flipped: The kept dad is the outrageous diva, while the movie star shrinks from the limelight.

	What Makes Sammy Run?: review on TheaterMania.com
		Sammy's rapid climb from plagiarist screenwriter to producer to mogul should be good, mordant fun, and it is whenever he's equipped with a smart Schulberg line ("Going through life with a conscience is like driving a car with the brakes on") or spitting out a pithy Ervin Drake lyric.
		Sammy's nice Rivington Street sweetheart, a character from the novel, has been added to the show and provides a contrast to the polished Hollywood ladies, but she's such an obvious "device" that it's a relief when she disappears in Act II.
		As Sammy, Tramon leaps, dances, does impressions, hits his high notes, and practically does a decathlon around the stage; but the blocking is so busy that he can barely pause for breath, much less work up a characterization.

	Schulberg_Budd_ca1
		The novel is narrated by Al Manheim, who firsts meets Sammy Glick while Glick is a copy boy at Manheim's New York newspaper.
		Manheim becomes Glick's friend, not because he wants to but because he is obsessed with finding out "What makes Sammy run?" The book represents the lack of morals in the fast and aggressive environment that the Hollywood film industry created in its beginnings.
		The film suggests that the government can do something about social injustice and insists on the idea that in moral conflicts between right and wrong there are bound to be casualties.

		Sammy's start in Hollywood came by stealing the story of an underling in the advertising department of the paper, and larceny sponsored his success from then on.

		Sammy Glick is an anti-hero if ever there was one.
		The titular question posed by the narrator forms the basis of a life-long fascination, as he plots Sammy's career, from a thrusting young copy boy through the ranks of Hollywood.
		It becomes almost an anthropological study - as if the narrator was some kind of West Coast Desmond Morris, a witness to the evolution of a new kind of human being, one who ruthlessly and efficiently dispatches all who get in his way.

		The musical, based on Budd Schulberg's 1941 novel, centers on Sammy Glick, and his rise from being a copy boy on a New York newspaper to being the head of a large movie studio.
		In other words, "Sammy" isn't one of the most attractive of stories, particularly in an era where the "dark" musical was more the exception than the norm.
		Beyond these three standouts, what comes across on disc is a series of tunes that intrigue and make one wonder what the show might feel like today — particularly with musicals like The Sweet Smell of Success, another "dark" look at behind-the-scenes shenanigans in the entertainment industry, commonplace.

	What Makes Sammy Run? (The Movie?)
		Even though he insisted that Glick was a composite character, not based on any one studio head, Budd Schulberg managed to make himself personae non grata throughout Hollywood at the youthful age of 27.
		In November of 2001, as part of a three-year pact with Stiller, DreamWorks paid Warner Bros $2.6 million to make the film under their own banner with Stiller starring and directing.
		The pact was extended in 2004, but there's still no sign of a green light and Stiller's slate seems pretty full for the next few years.

		In 1964, critics were divided as to whether Sammy was too soft or too unlikable.
		His impassioned performance is well matched by Larry Daggett's solid Al Manheim, the playwright done dirt by his friend Sammy, and Moira Stone's assured Kit, the writer who falls hard for Sammy but loves Al.
		Kristin McLaughlin as a mogul's vampy daughter, Jeffrey Farber as a tragic studio exec, and Darron Cardosa as a nebbishy writer whose work is appropriated by Sammy are excellent, too.

		Al drinks too much, he's puritanical about sex, and uniformly condemning of Sammy, even when Sammy does something -- such as starting a newspaper column about radio (The book is set in the 1930's, folks) that is actually a brillant business move.
		Plus, the critical Al was basically passive and stuck in the bar, crying in his beer, while Sammy grew a career.

	Jonathon Delacour: What Makes Sammy Run
		In this extraordinary novel, acclaimed screenwriter of On the Waterfront, Budd Schulberg manages to be simultaneously ruthless and sympathetic towards Sammy Glick, who represents not just the archetypal Hollywood hustler but the kind of callous go-getter we’ve probably all run into at some point in our lives.
		In one marvellous passage, he offers a persuasive answer to the age-old question of why intelligent, attractive women are frequently attracted to assholes.
		Well, the first day Sammy came into my office to save California from annexing itself to Russia, I was ready to tear him limb from limb and at the same time I had this crazy desire to know what it felt like to have all that driving ambition and frenzy and violence inside me.”

		Most of this might be forgivable with a charismatic Sammy, which is sorely needed given his ambitiously unlikable treatment in Armin's version.
		Larry Daggett is unduly stiff as Al Manheim, Sammy's reluctant mentor and a theatre critic-turned-screenwriter who falls prey to Sammy's cutthroat tactics; Moira Stone, playing an activist screenwriter torn between Sammy and Al, looks and sounds like a cut-rate Karen Akers.
		Jessica Luck is fine as Sammy's neglected New York girlfriend, but fails to convince as a screen siren who also falls under Sammy's spell.

		Directed by DGA Past President Delbert Mann, the 1959 production was co-written by brothers Bud and Stuart Schulberg, from a novel by Bud Schulberg.
		Unseen since its original airdate, the biting story of Sammy Glick, a hyper-ambitious newspaper copyboy who claws and backstabs his way to the top of the Hollywood heap, was long considered one of television's "lost" treasures until it was re-discovered and restored with the assistance of the Library of Congress.
		Mann continued the praise of his cast during the program’s introduction, which was also attended by Budd Schulberg, and cast members Rush and Merrill.
