Well, in all honesty, I have always thought of "Into The Woods" as a fine show but never as one of my favorites. Its score, though, is its greatest asset, and "No More" is a prime example of why. In that regard, its absence from the film is a shame.

SPOILER:

You never know. The Baker's Wife's death could be enough to trigger the transformation of the Baker and the rest of the characters. But so cd the Giantess. There were already so many huge, thematic turning points, including the Witch's, that it's likely to me that, in eliminating the mysterious old man, the story and its arc may gain in momentum and power.

They may not have actually eliminated him entirely. IMDB credits Simon Russell Beale as "The Baker's Father." He has said in an interview (I think it was with Graham Norton) that it was a very quick shoot for him and that he did not get to work with Meryl Streep

The early screenplay (so things could have changed by the time it was shot) had the Baker's Father only in flashbacks.
