Frank Thring, whose roles included Pontias Pilate in *Ben-Hur* ??

*All The King's Men* ?? Willie Stark?

BRIT -- Away with the Faeries AMER -- Wool gathering ...Inattentive, daydreaming, mentally absent.

Okay, we'll just set it up for the last couplet to be entered by someone else: The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep,

At only four more Views, nobody is even reading these questions, much less answering. The conversation about cops was between Faye Dunaway and Mickey Rourke in Barfly. Thread's open

Qualen -- Matt Clark in *Jeremiah Johnson*

Thanks, Miles. I haven't put any work into this one. It just sort of brought itself to my attention recently, and it focuses on an ad-campaign tagline. 60s comedy. The previews and TV blurbs had the narrator rattle off the names of the cast, some of them pretty well known, and end with "...yada, yada, and yada, together again for the first time!". And the movie as a whole was on about that level of sophistication. I loved it. Anyone admit to being old enough to remember that one?

Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year.

Le'me see, here, le'me see. 1. Byron Elsworth Barr played Gig Young in *The Gay Sisters* then took Gig Young as his professional name. One reason: there was another Byron Barr around (Barbara Stanwick's other sucker, uh, boyfriend in *Double Indemnity*) and Young avoided confusion with him. Took home an Oscar under that name. 2. Donnna Lee Hickey played May Wynn in *The Caine Mutiny*, and adapted that as her name for the rest of her career. 3. Justus McQueen played Marine Pvt. L.Q. Jones in *Battle Cry*, then adapted the character's name as his own. Last seen in *A Prairie Home Companion*. Are those the ones you had in mind?

My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near

*47* "Oh, I dunn'know, Marty. Whatta _you_ wanta do tonight?"

Deleted. Duplicate B.

(Sort of working the same ground here.) Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village, though.

(Working from memory; didn't look it up.) So I took the road less traveled by And that has made all the difference.

> _1st Guy_ "Did you find a job?" > _2nd Guy_ "Yeah. I got something at the striptease. I help the girls dress and undress." > _1st Guy_ "Nice job." > _2nd Guy_ "Twenty francs a week." > _1st Guy_ "Not very much." > _2nd Guy_ "Its all I could afford." > > Who? What film? I returned to *What's New, Pussycat?* for this one. 1st Guy was Peter O'Toole; 2nd Guy was scripter Woody Allen. (Could this material be anybody else's?) At 28 Views, I'll try one more before giving this up for a while. Again, dialogue: _She_: "I hate cops. Don't you hate cops?" _He_ : "Noooo, but I do seem to feel better when they're not around." Who? Film?

BRIT -- Rare as rocking-horse s**t AMER -- Rare as hens' teeth

York, Rosie -- June Lockheart in *Sergeant York* (1941)

*46* "Inez, contrary to the old cliche, you are ugly as homemade sin when you're angry."

BRIT -- An Irish screwdriver AMER -- A hammer

That was said by Dudley Moore to Mary Steenburgen when they played a scriptwriting team who wrote romantic comedies in a film called *Romantic Comedy*. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know how many are logging on here lately, so I'll try keeping count. At View # 775, I want to try another scrap of scripted conversation: _1st Guy_ "Did you find a job?" _2nd Guy_ "Yeah. I got something at the striptease. I help the girls dress and undress." _1st Guy_ "Nice job." _2nd Guy_ "Twenty francs a week." _1st Guy_ "Not very much." _2nd Guy_ "Its all I could afford." Who? What film?

Paco -- Emilio Fernandez in *Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid*

Nanki-Poo -- Kenny Baker in *The Mikado* (1939)

*45* "I TOLDJA them semiautomatics will jam on ya. Gimme a trusty revolver every time!"

Injun Joe -- Victor Jory in *The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer* (1938)
