Actually, the dual roles of Chandebise and Poche were played by Albert Finney and then, when he left, by Robert Lang. Olivier played the role of the butler, Etienne.

I saw that production. It was hysterical and Olivier in that small role was brilliant. The Gower Champion production was equally funny.

Thank you for the correction, jssteitzer. Foolish assumption on my part. Should have checked into it better before posting.

Sorry I missed seeing it - Roundabout mounted a 1998 revival with Mark Linn Baker &, toward the end of its run, one of the understudies named Bobby Cannavale took over in a role, & this apparently was his big break!

You're not the only one.

I'd always made that assumption, too.

The Old Vic did a production a few years ago with Freddy Fox as Camille Chandebise. Tom Hollander took the dual roles. I don't remember much about it, other than admiring Fox, who is one of my very favourite actors and who I heard was wonderful as Tristan Tzara opposite Hollander in London in TRAVESTIES. (I loved Seth Numrich in NYC, for the record.)
