The title character in Willard is a "hemophiliac" prince destined to be over-run by his own preoccupations and social shortcomings. Rats understand him, especially two, Socrates and Ben.
Compare: Charly, starring Cliff Robertson, a hit from a few years earlier, 1967.
REPORTED That Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby were "friends".
REPORTER: Are you and Bing Crosby friends?
ARMSTRONG: Friends? Yes we are friendly...but he's never invited me to his home.
Based on hearsay and recollection.
The rats have the house. Developers have the floor.
