Durbin? Wouldn't she be like 50+ in 1956 and...

8 years older by the time the film was made? And how convincing a Cockney girl could she have played?

Some other bizarre stage/film fantasy casting (among many):

- Darryl Zanuck wanted Maureen O'Hara as Mrs. Anna except for R. Rodgers saying no. O'Hara might've actually been good; except that she was American.

- Doris Day as Maria von Trapp?
