I think after the failure of Happiest Millionaire this film was extensively cut. Look at the timing . That’s short for a major musical. It might even have been initially thought of as a roadshow as Millionaire was which was then cut down for the Music Hall’s Christmas show after bombing at the Boyd in Philadelphia. They went further with this one.

Peak attendance was still ahead, since Easter Sunday arrived late that year on April 14th.
As luck would have it, the Disney feature turned up very early this morning on the Turner Classic Movies channel.

Also the first Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell movie. Though the age difference here is a bit disconcerting.
