There are actually more in the cast, some listed as "uncredited", but the list above is by far most of the cast. Many people acted in this production. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the actors' dogs were represented, as well, but they weren't listed by name or number (that's a joke, people). For a much illuminating meditation on this monstrosity of a production, be sure to read Roger Ebert's review, linked, above, in the title of this post.
Here's a link to the Wikipedia write-up of the film.
