The weirdest thing to me about that film is that it was a big movie with a lot of publicity based on a huge best-selling novel, and yet it seemed to be cast with TV instead of film personalities. Although Patty Duke of course had her most famous role as Helen Keller in films before she became the star of a situation comedy, it seems like everyone else in the movie, except for Susan Hayward, were second string TV stars. Paul Burke, Barbara Parkins, Lee Grant. Although I you couldn’t say that about the tragic Sharon Tate, I found it odd that a movie with that kind of build up was cast in that way. I’m curious about your opinion on that since you seem to know the film so well. Thanks.
