The book said it was from a movie. Is this true? If so which movie? Thanks. In The Godfather Part II, Don Michael (Al Pacino) gives that line, and attributes the advice to his father, Don Vito (Marlon Brando in the first movie). I'm not sure that that is the genuine first use of that thought. The on-line Bartlett's doesn't have it listed, but I _think_ I remember Tony Soprano discussing it with his lady shrink, and saying it was from some Chinese warrier-philosopher whose name Tony probably mispronounced. Frankly, it sounds like Michiavelli to me.

I'll try a new one. Sleeping With The Enemy it ain't. The bride grabs her jacket, ducks out the back door and hits the ground running after the first slap. Soon she makes a friend, and it turns into a female- buddies-on-the-road movie. What film?

Kidnapped, tracing back to a R.L.Stevenson novel??

Who Is Killing The Gread Chefs Of Europa Europa When Legends Die Die, My Darling?

Are you _James Anderson_, perhaps best remembered as a venomous rabblerouser in To Kill A Mockingbird ?? Last two films (Ballad Of Cable Hogue, Little Big Man) issued posthumously? Career span seems to work out right, but I can't hook up the other points.

The Miracle Worker ??

Aw, phooey! I wanted to use at least one more clue, namely: "Its the Anti-High Noon. In church, the whole congregation pledge themselves to harbor and protect a fellow citizen." But you're right. Russ Tamblyn, with Seven Brides For Seven Brothers behind him, with Tom Thumb and West Side Story ahead of him, did a dance routine that a young Fred Astire may have done if ol' Whatsisname Burkley had ever sent him to a barn dance. It was a light passage, and maybe somewhat out of place, in a pretty grim gunfighter story. Your thread, pastman.

Joe Mantegna had the lead in David Mamet's intricate Homicide, where one of his advesaries was portrayed by "Marsellus Wallace" himself -- Ving Rhames.

Fleeing outlaws stop over in the town to resupply.

Re Conqueror, I came by it honestly. Reading up on Pedro Armendariz, I read about his suicide after finishing his work on From Russia With Love, and wound up briefing myself on the whole account. A new one: Mid-50s B&W Western. Barn dance in a small frontier community. A supporting player, who is already known as a dancer, performs an intricate choreographed dance, occasionally using farm impliments as props. (One assumes a full-scale dance band has come in, and is just off camera.} What movie?

The Conqueror ??

deleated :0 B-) :x )

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being ??

Don't Drink The Water ??

Ah! Wilderness ??

The Yearling ?? The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter ??

> {quote:title=visualfeast wrote:}{quote} > is it FORT APACHE THE BRONX? vf; Correct. I think it helped that this film had some similarites to TV's Hill Street Blues, which was popular at that time.-- Riotous roll calls, a persistant, fleetfooted purse snatcher, etc. It also had Paul Newman, Edward Asner and Ken Wahl. Thread's yours. There may be some question posers playing catch-up.

_To break a logjam:_ Both jim2 and shirleydorisdf have posed questions, and then have not responded when answers were offered. They may or may not return to close or continue their subjects. Meanwhile, I'll pose a question, and I promise I _will_ respond to answers. *Name the movie:* 80s. Stressful police work in a high-crime precinct.

Negative re Six Loves. A family of four; parents and two boys.

I'll try one. May go down quite easy. Name a film in which the school-age boys in the central family must remember these rules: 1. Remember what your name is here. 2. Don't go to school on the day they take class pictures. 3. "We're in a hurry," is code for, "They've caught up with us. We have to run again."

Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil ??

*A River Runs Through It* THE SEVEN SAMURAI or THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

I think I'm onto that one, and it may be one of the few that have come up lately that I've actually seen. But I'll stack arms for a while and see if somebody else comes up with it.
