And I suppose quite noble and admirable of Wallach to turn a great role in a movie that was expected to be a major event in favor of a play that even the folks involved expected to be at best a succès d'estime.

I definitely agree about Wallach being admirable. And just want to add that he may have felt very grateful to Williams for the opportunity to create the male lead in ROSE TATTOO(for which he won a Tony), likely his breakthrough role. Apparently, "From Here to Eternity" would have been his screen debut. Instead, it was "Baby Doll" also scripted by Williams and also award winning for Wallach--if not the Oscar HE might have gotten instead of Sinatra. In any event, "Baby Doll" very successfully launched Wallach's distinguished film career.
