OK, let me throw this one out! What famous 45 year old actor, tried to date Tuesday Weld when she was only 16 and because of it just about sealed his fate in not being offered any more "major" roles in the movies?

These lines I always enjoyed...should be easy for "Beginners". Person # 1. - "Hey, I got a question! How are you planning to get back down that Hill?".......Person #2. - "Now wait a minute! I'm getting back down the same way I came up!" Who were the actors who spoke these lines and what was the movie? Bartlett

Kirk Douglas/William Bendix...."Detective Story"? Bartlett

Marty Feldman to Gene Wilder in "Young Frankenstein"?...Hey CharlieT what am I answering to...I see a John Wayne guess in the response before yours? Bartlett

( I could be wrong) Also Keating did not appear on the Broadway Stage for nine years before his debut in films.

> Okay. Let's try the Old ****, Fred Clark. Well..polish my head....Correct!!! My first movie in 1947, I co-starred with Claude Rains and Constance Bennett in "The Unsuspected". I played next door neighbor "Harry Morton" on the Burns and Allen show. I co-starred with Cagney in "White Heat" and made a couple of movies with Martin & Lewis one being "The Caddy". Your turn Mr. Mysterious!

Try this.....I was a pompus next door neighbor on televison between 1951/1953. My films which I co-starred in ranged from Cagney to Martin & Lewis. You would recognize me on sight by my physical appearance which I in certain roles was forced to "hide". Do you know me now??? Bartlett

> Do you think a lot of people smoked Chesterfield > cigarettes in "Dragnet" world? > > Rusty Chesterfield was the major sponsor on the 50's Dragnet television series! It didn't surprise me that all you saw were packs of them in the movie! Bartlett

To repeat...I started my career on the Broadway Stage. I got my first break in films nine years after my first appearance on Broadway in a "classic" movie, and became a noted co-star from that point on. I started my film career playing "heavies" but had a flair for comedy and became famous for my "Slow Burn" routine. I ventured into television when I portrayed a pompous next door neighbor on a highly successful show. Do you know me? Bartlett

Sorry, next time go with your instincts!....... Next!

I remember that "Dirty Ernie" routine Ken! I remember Miller was complaining that "Dirty Ernie" told him about a place that sold great "Clam Chowder", and that when he got to the place they sold out of it and he couldn't get the clam chowder that "Dirty Ernie" told him about. It is funny how something someone says can trigger up an old memory! Bartlett

Fred during the fight scene I noticed Jack Webb and Ben Alexander throwing punches at the screen. I also saw this movie when it first came out but cannot remember for the life of me, was this a 3-D film when released in 1954, the height of 3-D movies? The fists at the screen gave every indication. Also Richard Boone who played their boss, did he not have a popular television show at the time called "Medic"? Bartlett

Sorry, not Cloris nor Edgar...try again!!

Sorry, I am not Mr. Gleason ..."And away we go"!

> Thanks to TCM for showing Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis > film today. They are the funniest comedians - just > terrific. Jerry Lewis was great. I hope TCM can > play a whole day marathon of them. Martin & Lewis have always been one of my favorite comedy duo's. I always liked them and thought it was a shame when they split-up. My favorites from them are "Hollywood or Bust"...."The Caddy"...."Scared Stiff"...."Living it Up" and "Sailor Beware". I wouldn't mind a marathon of laughs from these two, and yes they were "terrific"!

OK! Times a wastin'. here goes: I started my career on the Broadway Stage. I got my first break in movies nine years after my first stage appearance in a "classic movie". I am a familiar co-star, who started my roles in pictures playing "heavies", but became noted for my comedy roles, especially when I did a "Slow Burn" routine. I also became a household name when I ventured into television playing a pompus next door neighbor in a highly successful television show. Do You Know Me?

The Killing? ( Sterling Hayden - 1956) Bartlett

Hey Ken!! Where are you? I'ma telling ya if'n we don't hear from you by High Noon today, I'm taking over this thread and asking the next "Do you Know Me?"....The clock is ticking.......................

When did you hear of a major film critic not ever watching "Gunga Din', for God's sakes!. I saw the movie when I was eight years old. I give her credit though that she admitted she didn't see the movie until she hosted "The Essentials" with Mr. Movie Man, Robert Osborne.

> Jerome Cowan is correct. Good work, Ken, but it > appears that Bartlett posted the correct answer > first. > > > Who's on deck? Go ahead Ken, you go! You named the movie also....but on one condition, your choice for the next guess is not Robert Taylor LOL! Bartlett

I have a wonderful Joan Crawford story that I would like to share with all of you. Joan visited Rheingold Breweries back in the early 60's as a representative of PepsiCo., as her late husband Alfred Steele who died in 1959, was Board Chairman of Pepsi-Cola. Ms. Crawford still had a foothold in the company of her late husband and was visiting Rheingold in Brooklyn New York to see if it was feasible to buy Rheingold for PepsiCo. My father worked there and the men who worked with him all knew that if Pepsi did buy them somewhere down the line they would cut jobs because of the merger.( Yes they did, and also disbanded Rheingold in the early 70's) So like any red blooded American when Joan walked down the line of men, my old man gave her the old "Bronx Cheer" ( Raspberry ). All of the other men followed suit and gave Joan a serenade of "Raspberry's". Joan the delicate flower yelled out a four letter word and gave all the workers, "The Finger". My father always joked that was the only thing that they received from Joan for Christmas.
