...if I may ask... Re Alec Guinness and music -- So somebody else did his cello work in *The Swan* ? Just asking.

> {quote:title=pastman wrote:}{quote} > ...juuust missed it, cmvgor. metz44 put the correct one first: The Black Cat with *KARLOFF* and Bela *LUGOSI*. Karloff's first name is not mentioned in the opening titles or closing credits. Even though Bela Lugosi has the lead role in this film, KARLOFF was the bigger star and got the top billing. > > Thank you for participating > The thread is open.. Uhhh, need some educating, here pastman. Was *The Black Cat* from a poem or from a short story. Dead as she is, I don't want to be on the wrong side of that question if Prof. Bailey (Eng. Lit. 101) finds out. Anyway got one that should go down quickly: *Name the movie*. No dribble of clues; this info and nothing more: The second and unknown man in the botched kidnapping was actually a woman. Be that as it may, an innocent bystander -- a Police Captain's wife -- blundered into the event and was shot to death. The heat's on, and it calls for one very serious sit-down. 1985.

Skeffington, Job -- Claude Raines in the title role of 1944's *Mister Skeffington*.

That gives two points one can work with; with a third, we may be able to triangulate. Genre? Time of issue, at least by a half-decade (late 50s, etc)?

Would this be *The Raven*, with Price and Lorre in a billing dispute? Who won?

And feeling good was good enough for me, ...Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

One more addition to the appreciation expressed before: For "Bob' s your uncle," a good idiom-to idiom in American would be something like Ross Periot's "End of Story," or Donnie Brasco's "Fuggetaboutit!" They all seem to mean there is nothing more to be said on the subject.

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And blew it sad while Bobby sang the blues...

BRIT -- It gets right up in his ****. AMER -- It bugs the hell out of him.
