Peter Lind Hayes ... August Zabladowski
Mary Healy ... Heloise Collins
Hans Conried ... Dr. Terwilliker
Tommy Rettig ... Bartholomew Collins
John Heasley ... Uncle Whitney
Robert Heasley ... Uncle Judson
Noel Cravat ... Sgt. Lunk
George Chakiris ... Dancer (as George Kerris)
a little boy, Bart, has but one enemy in the world- his strange and mean (and more than a little sadistic) piano teacher, Dr. Terwilliker. he also has narcolepsy, as he apparently can fall asleep while playing the piano.
he dreams Dr. T is going to use 500 boys playing the piano at once to do... some eville. Bart and August help rescue his mom and stop the Dr.'s plans. all this amid some truly oddball songs and characters and sets. of course, it was written by Dr. Suess, so that should be expected!
the actors are all very good in their roles, and the movie is a lot of good weird fun.
Tommy Rettig later on played Jeff Miller in "Lassie", i think taking over for Timmy when he left.
