In watching your clip of the Allan Sherman song, actor Barton MacLane is mentioned and shown. That fits with most of your clues, but I can’t find any connection with your original clue about The Sea Hawk. Basil Rathbone appears in the clip as Sherlock Holmes, and I vaguely remember reading eons ago that he’d been considered for Lord Wolfingham, but he doesn’t fit a lot of your clues.

Another interesting find, Tim! This is the first I’ve seen of his being mentioned in connection to Sea Hawk. Any idea what role he was considered for .. Wolfingham?
