Current, “Go for Broke.” Robert Sherwood: M-G-M contract for a year. His youthful charm may get him signed somewhere else. Scored as Howard Keel’s co-pilot in “Three Guys Named Mike.” Next, “The Two-Dollar Bettor.” John Ericson: He was the lead in “Teresa” and yet you remember Pier Angeli and that’s all, isn’t it?
