For the end credits, we see the castle help moving the mattresses around, and then the camera zooms in on one of them, and the names and credits are printed on the mattresses. The process is repeated throughout all the credits.

I love this musical!

I actually own all 3 versions of this fantastic musical and all I can say is that each has its high points. Also where the heck is the song "an opening for a princess"??? Is that only from the Broadway production? Carol is perfect as Winnifred - and also as the Queen. My favorite Larkin is naturally Bernadette Peters! One of my favorite songs is "Normandy" - which is missing from the '72 and used incorrectly in the 2005. I love Wally Cox as the jester and of course Jack Gilford was perfect in both the early versions! I have always wished I was old enough to have seen the original Broadway play but I remember the '72 fondly!
