Most of these actors had played the same parts on Broadway, buy I regard film acting--and the subtlety required for it--is a bit more difficult. All the performances in the finished film were excellent.

I'm glad they rethought Ray Middleton's beard.

0:08--This was the screen test of screen tests for this film!

McKean is Ray Middleton, creator of the roles of Frank Butler (Annie Get your Gun, '46) and the Governor/Innkeeper (La Mancha, '65).

Agreed. I like bearded McKean.

Saw this movie in 1972 in NY. Have loved it ever since.

MY FAVORITE ACTOR

Too bad they didn't keep the beard for McKean

One of my favorite films!

It was nice to see Governor Gatling!

I Love this show!

Colonel McKean!!! He is so yummy, I just wanna bite his tasteful beard!

I want to eat Sherman. He is so sexy and hot. Give me Roger Sherman.

Were these screen tests for costumes, hair styles and makeup? They certainly weren’t auditions for casting.

I love this
