I remember liking Jean Simmons--the only actress who could come close to JB's excellence--and Barbara Steele very much. I thought Jim Fyfe was all wrong as Willie, and certainly totally wrong to play a blacksmith in 1975.
I thought Ben Cross was adequate, but I can't think of anyone else besides JF who could do justice to the role. And that includes Johnny Depp.
In the scene where Barn gives Vicki the music box, he tells her, "I was born dancing the minuet." Well, in the first place, Josette's theme isn't a minuet, and in the second place, that's not what they end up dancing.
Oh, and Roy Thinnes was fantastic as the not-at-all-Reverend Trask!
