Role Fitters. It was almost easy to fit actors to the roles as they emerged in the script. Actor Thomas Gomez was a natural; without a bit of special makeup he was Georgy Malenkov's double. Luther Adler fitted smoothly into place as Molotov, Oscar Homolka as Khrushchev, E. G. Marshall as Beria. Stalin was harder to cast. After considering Laurence Olivier and José Ferrer, Coe decided on Melvyn Douglas, whom he had admired as Clarence Darrow in Inherit the Wind...

Of his rickety pitching staff, Rigney says hopefully: "All they have to do is go out there and hold 'em for awhile, because this club is going to score runs...
...vanished players had one thing in common: they were all Algerians. It was as if, overnight, the best Latin American baseball players in the major leagues-men like Chico Carrasquel, Bobby Avila, Minnie Minoso, Ruben Gomez-had fled the U.S. and challenged the Yankees and Braves for the world championship...
