I'm OK with the way the "Molasses to Rum" was filmed.

Lyndeck moved on to Dr. Lyman Hall during the Broadway run, and then he took over as John Dickinson on tour, replacing Patrick Hines who had replaced George Hearn when Hearn moved to the Broadway production to replace David Ford (who had replaced Paul Hecht) when Ford left to make the movie in his original role of Hancock. I know that's a lot to pack into one sentence. :)

On Broadway, he also understudied Jefferson, Dr. Lyman Hall (natch), Charles Thomson and Stephen Hopkins! I don't know how many of those roles he ever went on in, but decades later he played Hopkins at the Pittsburgh CLO.

I like Danner in the film, even though she obviously doesn't sing the song in anything like the way Buckley did. She was a Tony winner and a bigger name than Buckley.

was Betty Bucklye nominated for a Tony, I know I could look this up
if so, it's interesting that Marian Mercer won that year for a (also) basically one scene performance

Virginia Vestoff was nominated but not Buckley, along with Sandy Duncan for Canterbury Tales (she'd gotten raves) and Lorraine Serabian for Zorbá. Of course, Serabian had also gotten raves. So it was a very competitive category.
