yo, pastman,
+We seem to have a gender/identity issue going here. I'm doing the lyrics for Kris Kristofferson;
you're doing the lyrics for Janis Joplin.+ Any way, to wrap up:
I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday,
Holding Bobbie's body close to mine.
(one more chorus for someone)

BRIT -- dustbin
AMER -- trash can

Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold...

Ullman, Stuart -- Barry Nelson in *The Shining* (1980)

So...that would include the bagpipes in *Tunes Of Glory*, right?

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

Lavender;
You are right. Thread's yours if you want it.

> ...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.

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,

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...

Assuming my last entry was correct:
Busted flat in Baton Rouge and headed for the trains,
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans...

faceinthecrowd;
Could we have some plot points or time frames.
...Outlaw pals die in South America?
...Grifters take on a rich-but-dangerous mark?
...Pretty girl trains ugly horse?
...Divorced men room together?
...Old men act grumpy?

Lemmon & Mattheau?

BRIT POLICE TERMINOLIGY & AMER COP TALK :
BRIT -- ...is being sought to possibly help the police with their inquiries.
AMER -- ...is a person of interest in the case.
Both are code for "is a potential suspect, or may be one already."

Another question like my last one. *Name the movie from this description and no follow-up:*
Walter Matthau does not appear in this film, but he _is_ an off-screen presence. An aging actor,
with a comeback opportunity, is asked to take a role in a film with Matthau. The actor reads the script, and then balks. He demands a chance to read for the role slated for W.M., because he is
so _right_ for the role. And the plot unrolls from there. What movie? (issued 1992)
