Well said Stella. It's one of the reasons I've stood firm here on these boards for over two years. I enjoy
the many forums and opinions of most of the members.
I usually ignore those that try to upset the applecart except if they are downright rude.
There's nothing wrong with getting along like one big family here on the boards. Let's have fun.

Theres a little comedy called "The Jackpot" (1950)starring James Stewart, Barbara Hale and Natalie Wood.
It's about Stewart winning a radio contest getting lots of goodies however he can't afford to pay the taxes
on the merchandise and the situation gets wild and wacky.
A fun film.
Also the movie "Let No Man Write My Epitaph" (1960) starring Shelley Winters and Burl Ives. Its a strong drama about drug addition with an assortment of down and out souls. Theres a harrowing scene when Winters sitting on the john with a rubber tube tied around her arm about to shoot up when her son walks in on her and she screams bloody murder since she needs the fix desperately.

I have a book about the Academy Awards by Robert Osborne dated 1965. There is a picture of him and he is dark haired and looks like a handsome movie star on the order of Montgomery Clift.

Just to clarify clue # 1 that the movie takes place in 1922 and wasn't made in that year. It's not a silent movie.
