| Something seems off on the timeline. Based on the limited language mentioned in the article - the producers almost certain had the ability to recast them if the production took a different turn or they did honestly feel they needed actors with other qualities. What doesn't make sense is them offering them something to walk away (understandable to just end it cleanly) but then sending over long term contracts. Why would they send them contracts if they decided they wanted to replace them? | |

| The Buffalo Bills who played the roles in the 1957 were not actors. | |

| I got the impression that if the producers did NOT send them contracts, then they would be breaking the terms of the deal memo. In that case, the quartet would be able to sue, and the producers would have no case. But by sending over contracts (albeit with different terms than what the quartet was expecting), the producers can argue that they have legally fulfilled their obligations, and the quartet's rejection of those contracts would indicate (in their eyes) that they are refusing the job offers and are therefore not entitled to any additional compensation. The question for the courts, it seems, will be to decide whether the offered contracts were indeed very different from what was promised in the deal memo. |

| Yeah, the producers clearly thought they could pull a Harold Hill, but this barbershop quarter wasn’t falling for the charismatic con. | |
