With Carl Reiner’s passing, Barrie Chase is the last cast member still with us as best as I can tell.
Just watched a YouTube clip of Jonathan Winters talking about this movie. I didn't know it was the first film he did after getting out of the looney bin.
Nicholas Georgiade (Norman Fell's partner) is still with us as well. I assume the kid who played Mike Mazurki's (the miner) son is likely still around.

I recognize most pictured; but not sure who the three are on the left. The blonde with the necklaces can't be Dorthy Provine, she reportedly died in 2010.
I believe that’s Stan Freberg on the far left. The blonde woman is Stanley Kramer’s widow. I don’t know the man.
In this photo Stan Frieberg can be seen in light blue sweater, to right Marshall Schlom (Script Supervisor) and in jacket/ blue shirt Casting Dir. Lynn Stalmaster.
No, that isn't Stan. The man on the far left is script supervisor Marshall Schlom, next to him is casting director Lynn Stalmaster.
You must mean “light blue sport jacket,” not “sweater?” (the guy with a cane just behind Jonathan Winters).
I've only watched this movie once, when I was around 12. We rented it and I watched it with my parents. I only remember a few things, more like snapshots than anything else, but I remember it being very funny and we all enjoyed it. At one point in the movie a couple of guys are arguing at a gas station (I think), and it prompted my father to remark something along the lines of, "... if this movie had been made today, that argument would've been filled with swear words and bad language." I've always had that evening watching it with my parents as a lovely memory, and every time I see the film mentioned I feel nothing but fondness for it.
I've been blessed to watch this film dozens of times during my 60+ years of life. It has become a part of me so much so, I'm glad it hasn't 'aged well'. The period it was created and set in makes the story so much better. After all, NOSTALGIA is a very strong drug. Take only as prescribed. I remember watching it with my dad and brother whenever it came on a Rockford or Chicago channel. We stopped the world to laugh so hard, we stopped breathing for a few hours. I just sent my almost 90 yr old dad this blu ray along with the Jack Lemmon Out of Towners films, another movie we laughed so hard watching. Wish I could relive the experience of watching it for the first time.....
