I wonder if casting Olivia deHaviland in North and South Book II was done to have someone from GWTW in the Civil War miniseries?
William Daniels having played John Adams in 1776 would play John Quincy in The Adams Chronicles and Sam Adams in The Bastard.

Popular in Europe American Director Samuel Fuller had brief appearances in a number of films from different directors, Luc Moullet, Wim Wenders, Aki Kaurismäki. Jean-Luc Godard pays homage to the maverick American director in Pierrot le Fou (1965). Fuller famously quips his oft quoted cinematic philosophy... "Film is like a battleground. There's love, hate, action, violence, death... in one word: emotion".

Against All Odds - Jane Greer plays the mother of her own character in Out Of the Past, of which this film is a remake, and is a role not existing in the original. The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty - Not sure if this qualifies, as it involves a sequence that didn't make it into the finished film, but is interesting on several levels. Boris Karloff was natural casting for the sinister Dr. Hugo Hollingshead, and among the many daydreams in which Danny Kaye as Mitty imagines himself was one planned to have involved him encountering the Frankenstein monster, also played by Karloff. The only remaining evidence of the sequence are two posed publicity photos, one of Karloff in makeup with Jack Pierce and Mitty director Norman Z. McLeod, and the other of him with wife Evie. What's especially intriguing is that no one is now able to find any definitive confirmation that the scene was ever shot; these photos may only have been the result of Pierce's makeup test on the then 58-year-old actor. If shot, it would have presented the only opportunity to see the iconic character played by its originator in glorious 3-strip Technicolor, and if any as-yet-unknown copy exists, would represent a truly remarkable and sought-after find.

I could be mistaken, but wasn't there Technicolor tests for Boris in SON OF FRANKENSTEIN, when the film was still planned to be in color? Like the Mitty tests, it appears to be lost forever. Still, I would prefer seeing Karloff's Monster in his original wardrobe then Ygor's 'kept man' sheepskin.

Still, I would prefer seeing Karloff's Monster in his original wardrobe then Ygor's 'kept man' sheepskin. That's what I've always heard. Whatever there was of those tests would probably have ceased to exist long before SOF's release. After Standard Capitol took over the studio in '36, management became extremely cost conscious, and any such "waste product" would likely have been sold for silver salvage, a common enough practice during the pre-1950 days of nitrocellulose film. The only hint we have is in the form of a home movie of Karloff and Pierce that was taken on the set in '38. Some video files of it available online identify it as "color test," but it was 16mm amateur footage.
