David Begelman, who brought the stage show to Columbia Pictures' attention, was originally intended to produce the film. After Begelman forged Cliff Robertson's signature on a check, the creators of the stage show refused to sell the rights to the studio if Begelman was producer. Ray Stark took the job, even though he didn't like the original Broadway show.

Q
How to recognise the individual principal orphans?
A
Sleeve length, age, height, hair length are worth noting. Continuity is not always a helpful yardstick. There are fuller details in the user comment The Main Singing And Dancing Orphans, version x.xx, first posted at 5th January 2007.Annie is distinctive and red. Molly is distinctive and the youngest.The two eldest are Pepper and Kate. Both have black hair.Pepper wears a long sleeved top at night. Daytime she has a long sleeved grey woolly. Hair shorter than Kate, personality noticeably grittier.Kate is the tallest, Daytime she is short sleeved with her long hair in two bunches, un-bunched at night.Tessie, Duffy and July can be difficult to differentiate.July sleeps in a blue top that can usually be seen under her sleeveless day top.Duffy is rough tough. Her top is a darker brown than the others and is short sleeved.Tessie is a cuticle, and maybe the second shortest. Her top is short sleeved and a bit lighter than the others. She is also notable as the girl who repeats "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!" when distressed.
