*Suddenly* ??

Kelly, Ned-- 1970 title role for Mick Jagger

(At 8,720, making another try.) *1.* Western. Mid-1950s. Color. A shipment of cattle got to the railhead, onto the train, and then to Chicago. The boss got very well paid. Then he sat soaking in a hot bath in a hotel, idly shooting at flies on the wall with his pistol.

Title role in *The Kissing Bandit* ??

Bush, Bill -- Robert Downey, Jr. in *Short Cuts*

UncleCharlie; You've pointed up something else, too. I seem to be judgementally challanged when it comes to selecting what I think is a popular movie. Recently I put *White Oleander* on another thread. It has 157 viewer commentaries on imdb and nobody recognized it. The 1980 film now under discussion has only a few such postings, but after all -- 29 years ago, and I thought it very popular when first released. Besides, the "Super Bowl XIII" site on IMDb has a plain statement under "Fun Stuff" that the game is referenced in *The Black Marble*. I really thought that it was a giveaway to mention the existance of that site. *The Black Marble* -- novel _and_ screenplay by cop-turned-writer Joseph Wambaugh. Robert Foxworth and Paula Prentiss as the detectives. Barbara Babcock the dog owner, and Harry Dean Stanton as the luckless gambler. A walk-on for the young James Woods, who had already worked Wambaugh material in *The Onion Field*. For anyone who can find it, I consider it worth a viewer's time. I'm away from the screen for a while now. If nobody else has started another by midnight, I have another one waiting. (Closed out after 134 Views)

Rogers, Will -- Keith Carradine in *Mrs. Parker And The Vicious Circle*

To: bmovielover; Of course jump right in. That's how it works. If the one who posted the question agrees to your answer, you are free to post a question of your own. And welcome to the Boards.

*10.* The review thus far has not mentioned the romance that grows between the two detectives. he entroduces her to his friends and a couple of relatives in the emigre` Russian Orthodox community. It turns out that they can be very good for each other. It gives him the push to take early retirement from the environment that has shreded his spirit for years. And, honestly, there is no one[/i] who recognizes this description?

*unnumbered* freebie: Every Super Bowl has it's own website on the Net.

*9.* With the dog now safe and headed home, and the case seeming to wind down, the detective (the male one) makes a stop back at the kennel to question the owner -- who has been visited before as a possible witness -- for a few wrapup questions. Seeing the cop walk in, the felon thinks himself discovered. The set-to that ensues involves a harrowing slow-progress chase over the high fences through the indivudal pens. At one point the kidnapper finds himself in the pen with a very special boarder -- a family's security dog who was trained to attack at the crotch. He manages to kill the dog, but he is badly injured. He does manage to get away, get to the airport and board a flight to Mexico. He passes out during the flight. Waking up in a Mexican hospital he disappoints his new acquaintences when he tells them how he got there. They had thought they were dealing with a bigtime bank robber at least. Turns out he was just some chump-change dognapper. He has no plans to fight extradition.

I understand the confusion. I went to about age nine saying "give us this day our jelly bread." Dan, consider this thread open. My interests lean more to plots, themes and social slants than to individual careers, etc. What I was considering for an entry here simply was not right for this thread. If you have no pearls to cast at the moment, open it up to all.

Next?

*8.* In desperation, the owner offers the largest sum she can, in ransom. In desperation, he accepts, though it is far less than he needs. The swap-off of money and hostage is completed, but those trying to get a make on the kinapper lose him. He now plans to disappear with what he was able to get. Just needs one trip back to his kennel, and then he's heading out.

Timeframe of story? Of release?

One more verse, and I'm outahere. This was not a good idea. When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the dim and the glare,

Zola, Isobel -- Harriet Philbin in *Crossroads*, (1964)

*7.* The grieving dog owner winds up being consoled on her sofa by the male detective. The female detective unexpectedly finds herself jealous.

Sometime, years ago, I had read at least one of his books of memoirs, and was aware of his educational path. Checking his site in imdb, I picked up on the Saint's Day birth and the resulting name. Other info there led me to conclude that he (speaking Brit now) "had a bad war", and he "was mentioned in disptches", and that Gen. Eisenhower had awarded him the Legion Of Merit. To my everlasting embarrasment, I failed to pick up on the fact that the other actor to receive the Legion Of Merit had to be Audie Murphy. I have known for years that Murphy had gotten _every_ military decoration that the USA could give. That connection hit me just few hours ago. I also caught the comment about why Niven didn't discuss wartime experiences for publication, and why there would be no wartime memoirs. If this has earned me a turn at posing a question, I need a few hours to set up the one I have in mind. Cheers, cmvgor

theladyeve; After some 30 views, you are correct. Help yourself if you want to pose a question of your own.

Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew,

*6.* This story rises out of the works of a writer who knows his cops, and who knows his Southern California. To place the events historically, the game that puts the dog trainer into deep stuff is Super Bowl XIII.

NEW START (Don't know if this one has ever been put to music.) A bunch of the boys were whooping it up at the Malamute Saloon;

And all the fallen angels and the penball-playing rounders
