Leslie Nielson played Marion on the disney TV show swamp fox

Messala: "Surely you can be wise, and vow to be true!" Judah: "I am wise, and don't call me Shirley!"

@TheAdelaidehall Yes, he was good.
-
@whitethronebooks Boyd was pretty good, too, and robbed of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar (not even nominated!)
-
Thank God they went with Heston and Boyd. Heston's performance was epic. His voice wa inimitable.
-
Too weird, when Messala sounds like Frank Drebin
-
1:01 if it was in comedy you would hear someone scream arggggggh

i can't even imagine him as masala even when he tries to be serious he is funny as hell especially in airplane leslie nielsen is just so awesome the best ever in history of comedy r.i.p i love that guy

Nielsen wasn't evil enough to get the part. I can see why it went to Stephen Boyd, who just reeked of nastiness in the movie.

lol ben naked gun hur
Seems more like Cesare Danova's screen test. Nielsen rarely faces the camera and is often offscreen.

@NJtoTX You're absolutely correct, NJ. Clearly this particular test was to focus on Danova, but even mostly heard off-screen, Nielsen outshines him.
