It's only part of my 1963 obsession. Stay tuned...

I always thought Jason Robards
was a weak link in OUTIW.
Bronson...Cardinale... Fonda... Wynn..Ferzetti all great.
Jason, not so much.
Also, Jason Robards as Brutus in the 1970 version of JULIUS CAESAR. Charlton Heston,John Geilgud, Richard Johnson, Diana Rigg, Christopher Lee--even Robert Vaughn and Richard Chamberlain--all acquitted themselves well. But Robards is, as the New York Times put it "incredibly dull and wooden."
Yeah. He may have been a great theater actor, but he is way overrated in film.

Both On the Beach and Inherit the Wind had ... Donna Anderson (!)(?).
Was she the then-girlfriend of Stanley Kramer to have been cast along with Gregory Peck and Anthony Perkins or Spencer Tracy and Fredric March?

Why was Joanna Shimkus cast with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in Boom!?

Sometimes, those omnibus/portmanteau anthologies have a weal link within an otherwise satisfactory presentation.
For example, Torture Garden had Jack Palance and Peter Cushing in its 4th & final segment (great), Maurice Denham and Michael Bryant in its 1st story (great), with Burgess Meredith hosting the wrap-around/framework sequences (also great).
But for TG's 2nd episode, audiences get ... uh ... Beverly Adams with Robert Hutton & John Philips (not great).

Jessica Lange as Dwan in the 1976 King Kong.
She went on to win two Oscars, so what do I know?
I love KONG but no one would call it a " great ensemble " cast.
