Producer Arthur P. Jacobs thought he could interest Sidney Poitier in the role of Bumpo, even hiring Broadway actor Gilbert Price to provide Poitier's singing voice. Poitier turned the part down, explaining, "I'm an actor, not an entertainer." Sammy Davis, Jr. was briefly considered, but Sir Rex Harrison refused to work with an "entertainer" (someone who could sing better than him). The character was ultimately removed from the movie and replaced with William Shakespeare X. Ironically, Davis, who had been bitterly disappointed by his loss of the role, had a hit recording of "Talk to the Animals".
