| I imagine Cassidy did not want to repeat himself so soon I guess 3 years was long enough to go from Kodaly in She Loves Me to Kodaly, um, Max in Superman? :-) |

| Kodaly and Max are both jerks, but She Loves Me and Superman are so different in so many ways that I can't imagine he considered Max as repeating himself. I mostly know Cassidy from his cast albums, although I was a fan of He & She, I did see the Hal Baxter episode on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and I enjoyed Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol as well as The Eiger Sanction. I'm a huge fan of Cassidy's performances on all those Broadway and studio cast recordings, but I always thought they contained a tad too much ham and/or ego. Nevertheless, he was very talented and one of the very solid Broadway musical actors of the 50's and 60's. Just IMO. |

| Cassidy did get star billing in "Superman" -- below the title, but still "Starring Jack Cassidy", so that probably was an incentive. He did get kind of typecast in those kinds of vain jerk kinds of roles though but he sounds just wonderful on the recording. | |
