Saturday's Question:
Who said "Every once in a while I suddenly find myself dancing" and in which film?
-
Moira the film that I'm thinking of is actually called "The Four Seasons" which is a hilarious look at a group of friends who spend time with each other during times in Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. It stars Carol Burnett, Alan Alda, Rita Moreno, Jack Weston, Len Cariou, Sandy Dennis and Bess Armstrong. Have you seen it?

The answer to today's daily trivia question is actor James Mason. Coffeedan reports that he didn't take the role because his daughter didn't want to see him die in yet another movie. Ironically the following year he starred in "A Star Is Born" and drowned to death.

Probably because she is an ardent fan just like the rest of us. It's also nice watching a younger star of this generation show her appreciation for classic movies and the magnificent Kate.

I know....I added and extra "Mad" probably because I constantly list this film for a star on this thread.
Besides the world is a little madder since the film was made so it probably seems appropriate.
