"Gathering Up the Shells at the Seashore" -- sung by Jan Duggan in The Old Fashioned Way (1934) Next: Sung during a war

William H. Macy Next: Ringlets

I saw The Ferryman in London, it was brilliant. Some of the plays/musicals may actually travel to other parts of the USA, on tour. I believe a tour was planned for The Ferryman, to fourteen cities in the US and Canada, but Covid intervened. Some people watch award shows without having seen (or heard) any of the nominees. I don't watch the Oscars as regularly as I used to, but I watched most of the show this year, without having seen (or wanting to see) any of the movies. There are young people all over this country who dream of going to the theater, and sometimes the Tony Awards show brings them closer to that dream. And it is after all history and education as well as, one hopes, entertainment. And I never said that the residents of Dogpatch are dumb, But, to continue in a condescending vein, I wonder if, wherever you are, you have a thing called a "remote." It has buttons on it. If anyone doesn't want to watch the Tony Awards, they can press some of the buttons, and other programs will appear! 😊

They used to show the first hour on a local station, then two hours on a national station, but I think they gave that up. The Olivier Awards, which are the British equivalent, are now shown on one of the cable channels occasionally, or streamed online. I think you have a point, though. Theater is more for intellectual, upscale audiences mostly around New York; not for Dogpatch! Maybe they could be streamed for those few in the regions who are interested.

Symphony No.6 ("Pathétique") by Tchaikovsky -- Maurice (1987) played at Oxford Next: Song or music from a film featuring Ann Harding

Papa Eddie is played by Rolfe Sedan, who played the postman Mr. Beasley on Burns & Allen. He also played a mailman on a few episodes of The Addams Family and had a long career in movies and television.

There are many millions of New Yorkers and suburbanites who go to the theater. And besides, televising the awards is supposed to encourage you all to come to New York and go to the theater. But as a New Yorker, I resent it when they try to put big movie stars on the Tony Award show, in the interests of getting national audience. They're out of place, unless they live locally, or have careers in the theater as well.

John Carradine was in The Last Hurrah with Donald Crisp.

"Let Me Call You Sweetheart" -- Anna Christie (1930) Next: Another song or music from a Garbo movie

If that's the case, how gross for the ladies to be swimming in the midst of dead beavers, skunks, possums, etc!

At the risk of being gross, the issue for my friend was bits of body hair in the drinking water. When he talked about it, he would make spitting noises, as if spitting out bits of hair.

I have a friend who continues to be repulsed by the opening scene in Petticoat Junction, where the girls are (presumably) swimming nude in the water tower. I think he might have appreciated a warning of some type, like: DON'T DRINK THE WATER!!

"Who" -- Sunny (1930) sung by Marilyn Miller, probably the biggest Broadway musical star of her day; and Lawrence Gray. When Miller appeared in Sunny on stage, it made her the highest paid star on Broadway. Next: Another song sung by an early (pre-1940) Broadway star in a film

Repulsion (1965) Next: Walking in the park

I like Ken Russell movies but feel that some of them are not as good or outrageous as they're claimed to be, for example the composer films. I think Russell's greatest films are Women in Love (a noble attempt to bring D.H. Lawrence's novel to the screen); The Devils (which is rarely seen, perhaps thanks to naughty things that the nuns do); and The Lair of the White Worm, a very enjoyable film based on a Bram Stoker story. (A really disappointing film is Gothic, which should have been much better). Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi in The Lair of the White Worm

Carrington (1995) Next: Election

An Eric Rohmer masterpiece and one of my favorite films: A Summer's Tale (1996) From a review: "An engaging piece of observational cinema, this film is a pleasure to listen to, as the young people talk passionately about what’s important in their lives as they dance around their potential involvement with each other. It may seem like nothing much is happening on-screen, but by the time “A Summer’s Tale” is all over, it feels like everything important has been said and done. Welcome to the magic of Rohmer..."

Quiggin, J.G. -- Adrian Scarborough in A Dance to the Music of Time (1997)

Ellen Corby was in Caged with Betty Garde.

7. He played Stanley Kowalski to Uta Hagen's Blanche DuBois in the national tour of the original production of A Streetcar Named Desire. Some critics preferred the Quinn/Hagen pairing to the Brando/Tandy pairing (which they also liked).

Yes, but it was a recent clue, and I (for one) don't want to repeat a song/music from the same movie, which is still the last movie I saw (Michael Collins). I've used it three times, most recently last week! But I've just started watching Becket (1964): "Main Title/King Henry II arrives in Canterbury Cathedral" -- Becket (1964) Next: Song/music used in a 1930s or 1940s horror film

Rod Taylor was in Welcome to Woop Woop with Tina Louise.

I love his films, though I haven't seen any in quite a while. In addition to The Apu Trilogy, I'm a big fan of Days and Nights in the Forest; and The Philosopher's Stone (Parash Patar). Tulsi Chakraborty plays a particularly endearing character in the latter film.

I've never seen the film but want to, as my old friend Irene Worth plays Grandma. So, I guess your real name is TikiSoo Guilaroff?

The Dead (1987) John Huston's adaptation of James Joyce's story is a perfect final film and the director's best film.
