Three (or more) Great Actors in One Film

[Hibi]

PAUL NASCHY? Who is that?

Paul Naschy (née Jacinto Molina Alvarez) was the "Spanish Lon Chaney" who appeared in over 100 movies, most of them in the horror genre. His most famous role is werewolf Waldemar Daninsky.

Not exactly a Hollywood star people would know though.

You've given me a big laugh today. Keep up the good work!

Seriously, there's a movie with Jonathan Frid, Herve Villechaize (haven't thought of him in years), and Troy Donahue? Was the casting director, and probably everyone else connected with the film, on some mind-altering substance?

It was written and directed by Oliver Stone, so yeah probably.

The cast also includes Martine Beswick, Christina Pickles, and Mary Woronov!

Understood! BUT . . .

Paul Naschy was not a "Hollywood star" . . .

If I could choose films with have three (or more) Great Actors that are not great movies, I'd choose the six Stanley Kramer movies from On the Beach to Guess Who's Coming for Dinner. Also Alien: the cast is so incredible on paper that many forget they don't have real relationships before the Xenomorph starts eliminating them one.

I was reading about the original casting of Fellini Satyricon the other day and it had bizarre casting choices like Boris Karloff as Trimalcione and it was set to have the Beatles, Alain Delon, Mae West, Groucho Marx, Van Heflin and a bunch of other A listers. It would have been like that one fake Zorro movie (The Poke of Zorro) from the Simpsons that had a bunch of A listers in random minor parts.
