Roles is NOT the subject. It is the object of the preposition In.
Richard Burton and Julie Andrews is a compound subject and were is the verb. It is an inverted sentence, which is why it is confusing.

"Were" is obviously the verb. Not so sure about the subject. Should be "Richard Burton and Julie Andrews", but not sure if it's simple.

The simple subject in this sentence is Richard Burton, Julie Andrews.
The simple verb in this sentence is the word "were."
All of the other nouns in the sentence are parts of prepositional phrases; therefore, they can't be the simple subject or the simple verb in this sentence.

Please ignore those who are telling you the subject is "roles." Roles were what? R. Burton and J. Andrews were in the starring roles.
"Richard Burton and Julie Andrews" is the subject. What they were doing is they were in the starring roles. Or, simply, they "were."

Roles isn't the region. it rather is the article of the preposition In. Richard Burton and Julie Andrews is a compound subject and characteristic been is the verb. it rather is an inverted sentence, it rather is why it rather is complicated.
