7 Faces of Dr. Lao is a 1964 fantasy film based on the Charles G. Finney novel, The Circus of Dr. Lao. The film depicts the effects of a mysterious circus on a small town. Directed by George Pal, Tony Randall stars in several roles: Dr. Lao, the mysterious circus proprietor; Pan; the Abominable Snowman; Medusa; Merlin; and Appolonius of Tyana. He also provides the voice of a stop-motion animation snake. Other stars include Barbara Eden and Noah Beery Jr.

Randall has an amusing cameo with very little makeup, as the only disbelieving audience member during a particularly dramatic presentation.
