William Reynolds, Andra Martin, Gogi Grant, Jeffrey Stone, Rose Marie, Hans Conried, Bill Goodwin, Howard Miller, Jack Straw, Phil Harvey, Steve Drexel, Buddy Bregman. The reason we list 57 and 58 is because we have many books published in the 70s, 80s and 90s that all list 1957 as the film's release date. However, just about everywhere on the internet it says 1958. The Big Beat!
