...pauper (Johnny Washbrook) to match Rex (The King and I) Thompson's prince, coddled his show through three weeks of rehearsal. Amid a staggering 19 sets, Director Daniel Petrie moved his cameras and 100 players with the fluidity of a movie. "We also put inordinate effort into the script," said Susskind, "on the outmoded theory that in the beginning was the word."
