Thanks, Eve... It's good to be back. Can anyone name the superstar who began his film career in an uncredited role as a sailor in a seedy bar, watching a singer do her number... half drunk, he begins heckling the singer by saying loudly: "I'll bet that dame's bowlegged!" Irate, the singer stops the show, turns to the sailor and smartly lifts her skirt, saying: "You call THESE legs bowlegs?" Remember, the guy who played the drunken sailor went on to become a superstar, one of the biggest. Can you name him? Cheers, Dan

You are: Edward Brophy. You acted in support of Edward G. Robinson, one of the top screen gangsters, in at least four (4) films. You appeared in a short scene with the immortal Buster Keaton in "The Cameraman" (1928). The IMDb shows that you were about 5 ft. 5 in. tall, which I think qualifies as "short." And yes, you were "follically challenged" (bald). Cheers, Dan

I believe that would be Robert Walker. Robert Walker (1918-1951) appeared in "Strangers on a Train" (1951), then died while in the midst of making his next film, "My Son John" (1952). The finished print includes footage and outtakes from "Strangers on a Train." Cheers, Dan

No need, sixes... because traceyk65 has NAILED IT! "Professional Sweetheart" (1933) is the correct movie. tracey didn't name the actor, but that's elementary. Your thread now, trace. Cheers, Dan

Okay, here's a good one. "Oh God, please don't let her die. She's wicked, but I love her." Couldn't have been said, in more than the one movie. Name the film, and the speaker. I've had this question up on the board for five (5) days now, so I'm bumping it to keep it from disappearing completely. So far, we have established that the actress in question is not Shirley Jones. We also know now that the speaker was played by an actor who was married to an Academy Award winner, and was brother-in-law to another Academy Award winner. Who spoke that line, and in what film? Cheers, Dan Cheers, Dan

lavenderblue is CORRECT! Your board now. Cheers, Dan

cmvgor wrote: "Juliet Mills of Nanny And The Professor in The Second Power ??" Sorry, no. "El Segundo Poder" (1976) was made in Spain, not Italy. Here's another clue: The film in question stars Jack Lemmon. Title? Cheers, Dan

No replies yet? Well, maybe I didn't give enough clues about this film made in Italy. The movie is a bit more than two hours long, but that's because the director wanted its pacing to match the slow, unhurried pace of life in Italy... and to draw attention to Americans' frenetic pace, especially in big cities. The film's leading lady was a star on a TV show inspired by "Mary Poppins." So... name the film! Cheers, Dan

Thanks, Eve. Roger Ebert called this film "too long," but he missed the point. The director's intention was to drag out the story, to call attention to the hustle and bustle of busy American life, and why it makes more sense to relax and enjoy life and its slower and quieter moments. This film takes place in Italy. Name the film. Cheers, Dan

Howard Hawks, about Bogie and Bacall. Right? Cheers, Dan

Sorry, cmvgor... It isn't Shirley Jones in either film. You guys sound like my question has been on the board forever. But it's been ONLY TWO DAYS! Okay, here's another clue: The actor who speaks the line was married to an Oscar winner, and was brother-in-law to another Oscar winner. Here's the quote, again: "Oh, God... Please don't let her die. She's wicked, but I love her." Who said it, and in what movie? Cheers, Dan

Sorry, jenwhy... it's not "The Primrose Path" (1940). To help you come up with the correct answer, consider all the words in the quote. Here's the quote again: "Oh God, please don't let her die. She's wicked, but I love her." First of all, the speaker is playing a man with a spiritual background. He's praying to God, petitioning Heaven to save the girl he loves. Second, he loves her although he seems to know she's "no good." And if it will help you, I will add one more clue: This movie is a COMEDY, not a drama. Name the film title and the speaker. Extra points for naming the actress who plays the "wicked" girl. Cheers, Dan

Lonesome Polecat wrote: "Oh I know that and I can't place it... shot in the dark----Mildred Pierce perhaps?" Sorry, LP. It's not "Mildred Pierce." However, the woman in the quote is played by an Oscar-winning actress, just as Mildred Pierce was. Here's the quote again: "Oh God, please don't let her die. She's wicked, but I love her." Who spoke that line, and in what film? For extra credit, name the Oscar-winning actress who played the "wicked" woman. Cheers, Dan

Okay, here's a good one. "Oh God, please don't let her die. She's wicked, but I love her." Couldn't have been said, in more than the one movie. Name the film, and the speaker. Cheers, Dan

finance... I'll take a chance and say that quote is from *The Male Animal* (1942). Cheers, Dan

finance, you are CORRECT!! Your board now, champ. Cheers, Dan

Hiya sixes... Nice to be back. Okay, now. What film contains the following dialogue: Restaurant patron: "Waiter, do you have any wild duck?" Waiter: "No sir... but we can take a tame duck and aggravate it for you!" Clue: It's a black-and-white film, and of course a comedy. Name the film, and the star who plays the waiter. Cheers, Dan

I'm guessing that's from "Ordinary People" (1980). Timothy Hutton and Judd Hirsch. Cheers, Dan

dan got it (no surprise there) your turn (just be patient now, there are new folks here) Thanks a lot, sixes. But right now, I got nothing. So why not let some of those "new folks" come up with a new Movie Trivia question? Thread's open. Cheers, Dan

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen. Oh, and Rudolph. Cheers, D

Hi to those that came up with replies. Sorry, I am neither Jill St. John nor Shirley Eaton. In my original question, I said I had appeared in more than 40 movies and TV shows. But Shirley Eaton never appeared in that many. Also, I said that my husband and I were happily married for more than 30 years, and that I am his widow. Jill St. John has had four marriages, none of which have lasted that long. And she has never been a widow. New clue: I was born in New York city. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

I'm guessing: Republican and Ohio. Cheers, Dan

Do you know me? I am an American actress who appeared in more than 40 movies and TV shows. At one time, I was a Bond girl, meaning that I appeared in one of the many adventures of Agent 007, James Bond. My husband and I were happily married for more than 30 years, and the interesting thing about that is that I proposed to him rather than vice versa. We remained married until his death. Who am I? Cheers, Dan

You are: Joy Page. First film: " Casablanca" (1942). Father was Don Alvarado, who played Latin-lover types in silent films. Mother married Jack L. Warner, a studio exec who did NOT support his stepdaughter's ambition to appear in films. Cheers, Dan

Wow! That's two in a row, for Kid Dabb. You, sir, are the new King of Movie Trivia. Thread is yours. Cheers, Dan
