That's right, Jim! Sellers played half the roles in this movie... the only other person I can think off offhand to do that was probably Eddie Murphy's Nutty Professor movies.
This was an English tradition begun by Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets in 1949. Sir Alec played 8 characters (men and women) in a family who were all heirs to a fortune. Dennis Price knocks them all off for the inheritance.
Thanks to the Wayback Machine, we're currently working our way through "Hollywood history" from the Stone Age to the modern era--and beyond. I remembered to bring my camera, but I need your help identifying the people we meet and from what context they came (i.e., what show or movie they appeared in). Everyone is encouraged to participate.
