<P> Jack Gilford was also re-creating his stage role, as Hysterium, and there are other connections to the Broadway production . Tony Walton, who designed the production, including the costumes, was also the designer of the Broadway show . For Walton, who was married to Julie Andrews from 1959 to 1967, Forum came at the beginning of both his film and stage careers: it was his second Broadway production, and his third film - he had designed costumes for Mary Poppins in 1964, and did the overall production design of Fahrenheit 451 in 1966 . </P> <P> Bob Simmons, a renowned stunt coordinator, designed and performed many of the action scenes in the film . </P> <P> The animated end credits created by Richard Williams feature many houseflies, a reminder of the fly problem the production suffered through when the fruits and vegetables which festooned the set were left out to rot overnight after the end of the shooting day . </P> <P> George Martin, who with Ethel Martin is credited with the choreography of the film, was the assistant to choreographer Jack Cole on Broadway . (Jerome Robbins also did some uncredited work on the stage show .) Other members of the Forum team are notable as well . Cinematographer Nicholas Roeg moved up to the director's chair to make films such as Walkabout (1971), Don't Look Now (1973), and The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) with David Bowie . </P>
