"This isn't going to work. It'll be years before this kid is old enough for the Man Who Knew Too Much remake. Hitch will just have to make changes. Uh, nothing personal, but you might have to go, too.
Can you fake a good rendition of Que Sera, Sera[i/]?'

...Or would it be somewhere in the 1939 version of The Women ??

Yo, metz;
I don't know the actor, of course, but something about the face and the scrap of costume that can be seen prompts a question: Is this from one of the films that were made about the life
of the Mad Monk Rasputin? That's all I can come up with.

(Trying something new: Frustrated by the lack of transition words, I will try using an ampersand
(&) where there isn't a natural overlap or transition.)
Two Rode Together; The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance & The Man From Snowy River. They
Came To Cordura, Where The Sidewalk Ends Under The Rainbow. The Mission: Ride The High Country Together To Catch A Spy, & If He Hollers Let Him GO.
Is this variation acceptable?
-
It's a 1998 film; the central theme is Family. A father-son conflict.
-
Correct. If you get a chance to see Carried Away, I think it is worth the viewers' time. As I mentioned earlier, the confrontation between Gary Busey and Dennis Hopper -- dealing with that situation -- was a revelation in take-no-prisoners acting. What seemed to be a setup for
bloodshed was taken over by mature and intelligent men behaving maturely and intelligently. I admired it.
Next up.

Negative re Kennedy. I'm not sure I made it clear: The person under discussion is the character, not the performer. I think its clear from the material that it is a story about the film
industry.
-
Negative re Gleason. This question is developed out of movie scenes. The quote is similar to the way Ralph reacted to frustration, but the question is not from a TV source.

Yo, Dan;
I have similar problems some times when dealing with a title that impressed me, and that I thought others would remember. Most people around here have some adeptness with Trivia, but you, Dan, sometimes show a flair for Minutiae. Here's one that may be easier.
By film, character, and actor, name a person who had these two causes for pride:
1) He invented the phrase "hummala hummala hummala" for use in movie crowd scenes.
2) He was the 19th man to shout "I am Spartacus!"

Dustin Hoffman

Jane Alexander.

OH! WHAT A LOVELY WAR or THE WAR OF THE ROSES

I do believe I've found it. If I'm right, its actually an Italian movie. The title is Sette Volte Sette, which indeed translates into the USA title Seven Times Seven. The cast is mostly Italian; I recognized only the names of Lionel Stander and Terry-Thomas. The plot is much as you
described, and there was a mention that the USA version is dubbed, not subtitled. Oh, yes. Its a 1968 release.
I haven't mastered that "post a link" trick, but go to IMDb and post the Italian title. That should get you what you want. Good luck.

Sixes;
I Googled that one. Again, appropriate. But I'll let someone else post the answer.

Correct. Considering the timing, we apply the sentiment to the character, of course. not the performer.
Yours, Sixes.

Thanks, Dan. I was totally in the dark on that one. This one is from a much more recent film, but a performance worth remembering:
"We will none of us, see Heaven."
Name? Source?
-
Cast Roll (Role) call:
"Frank Booth" & "Mr. Joshua" (representing bad, lethal craziness).
"Grace Miller" (Oscar nominee, Emmy winner).
"Isabella Grossman" (fine work in a support role. Perhaps present simply for love of the craft. Not
dependent on the income; winner in one of those Record Book divorce settlements.)

Movie Trivia
in Games and Trivia

Dan;
I've seen Mulholland Dr. twice, but I didn't recognize it from your description. I had different interpretations. I thought, instead of the actresses exchanging roles, that the blonde and the brunette were in Coco's (i.e. Ann Miller's) favor at different times. And, basically, I had reached the conclusion that the whole thing was a dream, probably of the blonde actress (Naomi Watts?), who had no control of where her dreams were taking her. But, Lordy knows, your take on anything in Cinema is to be respected, and I'll take another look at it when I can do so without renting or buying it.
I would also like to put a question to you that I have been unable to get answered elsewhere. On the Information Please! Forum I got some sympathy and incouragement, but no final answer:
Its a movie that I saw on TV in the early-to-mid 50's, so it probably dates from the 30's or 40's. A college setting: I think Law School, but the course may be in Civics or Ethics. A student has written a well-received (thesis? term paper? article?) with the title "Man Above The Law", and people keep congratulating him about it. Also, he has killed a man, I think in the course of stealing some money. (Cash-strapped students are a fixture in American life.) At one point, while
sleeping in his room, he is awakened by a knock at the door. He rises and answers the door -- and the whole story collapses. The body of the story has all been a dream; the man at the door is the man that the student -- and the audience -- thought he had killed. I saw this about age 12, and never again. At this point I am not even sure if that brilliant thesis was a part of the dream, or of the "real" world.
Do you recognize any of this, and can you suggest a way to help me find the title? I would appreciate any help you can give.
And, to make sure I leave an actual Trivia question here; try this one: A River Runs Through It, on TCM yesterday, had several credit listings for fish handlers and trout experts.
Can anyone name a movie (Cable, I'm afraid) that has a credit for a "Spider Wrangler?"
