# 5 The father/husband is rather casual about marrage vows over the years. The wife/mother has a quietly hilarious confrontation in a restaurant with an overmadeup bimbo who has called the meeting to announce to the wife that she (the wife} will just have to give him up.
-
# 4. They have a son whom they both love deeply. The father and the son bond over their enjoyment of playing practical jokes on the neighbors.

Cheers and Bingo!, Dan. You're right and its yours now.
(And do I get your support for the Politically Incorrect Crown?)

> "I know about you! Your name's not Bell, its Bellini; you're a ****, like me!. Stay away from my mother, you big ****!"
Further info: Early 1960s crime & courtroom drama. The speaker is an unknown whose career never went anywhere. But the person addressed has an Oscar, and the mother he refers to has Oscars.

Negative re Double Harness. Think early 1970s.
# 3. One star has an Oscar. One has Emmys. One support player was Oscar-nominated for this production.

Again with the punctuation:

Thank you, lb19. I'll make another try here for the Politically Incorrect Belt:
"I know about you! Your name's not Bell, its Bellini; you're a ****, like me!. Stay away from my mother, you big ****!"
Who? To whom? Film?

# 2. Serious story, but has some comic moments -- done by people who can handle them.

Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine in The Apartment. (??)

Whatthehell. I'll try again.I'm getting little response on another thread.
# 1. A marrage. They meet, have an affair, then marry. It is, uh, late in their youth.

ANOTHER POINT-OF-ORIGEN FOR THE HERO??
Leonard Maltin's thumnail review of The Glass Key includes the comment that "(Director)
Akira Kurosawa claims this was his inspiration for Yojimbo." So most of the films in this study are a deliberate retelling of the same basic story -- and the primary source is the works of Dashiell Hammett. And this brings up another variation of the hero's function.
Hammett's 1929 novel Red Harvest is about bringing down gang rule of a town. The hero of the piece is "The Continental Op" (i.e, Operative of the Continental Detective Agency). This unnamed narrator/hero does the same in the novel The Dane Curse and in numerous short stories. Another "man with no name", he serves as a sort of big brother to Sam Spade as a
pioneer hardboiled detective. And in Red Harvest, he is sent into the town of Personville with orders to bring an end to the gang warfare.
Note this: In the television premier of A Fistful Of Dollars, an extra scene was added before the credits. In a prison inside the US, a man in Eastwood's poncho and flat-brimmed hat, seen only from the rear, is taken into the Warden's office. He is briefed on the mission wanted from him in exchange for his freedom. He never speaks, just nods a couple of times. That scene ends; the opening credits roll, and the movie proper begins -- in Mexico. But it has been established now that the hero is an agent who has been sent to do a specific job.
Now note this: Regarding FredCDobbs' reference to King Of Kings, it is an article of faith for many that that protagonist was sent to do what He did and to accomplish what He accomplished. (I knew that reference would be usable again.)
Clue # 17: Denoument: Reconciled and friends again, the boss talks things over with his friend in a hospital room where the friend is still convalescing. The boss then exits, leaving the friend with the girl that he had formerly wanted to marry. Which Title?

Oh, fudge! I thought this one would last a while.
It's yours, lb19.

Okay, thanks, Sixes. I think I'll also use this entry in my bid for this year's Politically Incorrect
Trophy:
"Marxie always told me: The Jews are bad enough, Dollink. But the Sicilians?!? They'd rather eat their children than part with money. And they're fond of their children."
Who? To whom? Film?

Note: A little creative punctuation can help things seem to make sense.

Clue # 16.. Endgame: Hero recovers from injuries, comes out of hiding and confronts the so-far victorius gang boss. Then he kills the boss in a duel that starts with two unloaded guns -- a revolver against a lever-action rifle. Which title?

More sweeping up behind us:
The Clue 12 questions:
a. The happy dog with the chopped-off hand: Yojimbo
b. The boss who wants into Society: The Glass Key (1942), with Brian Donlevy planning to marry Veronica Lake.
From Clue 15. Miller's Crossing; Gabriel Byren walks John Turturro into the woods at the title location and claims to have killed him. When the site is visited again, Turturro has provided the mutilated body of Steve Buscemi to help with the ruse.

Much obliged, Any help appreciated. The scholistic setting may have been a philosophy class or an ethics course.

Sorta sweeping up behind us here:
# 13.."...him and me are quits..." Miller's Crossing, Gabriel Byrne, referring to Albert Finney.
# 14, "...and there was nobody there too help." Fistful Of Dollars, Clint Eastwood to Marianne Koch.
Clue # 15. To gain his creds in the other gang, the hero is expected to kill a man. He goes into the woods with him, he fires a shot, he comes back without him. He has let the victim go.
Some days later, the bosses demand to see the body. He takes them to the site, bluffing, and is surprised and sickened to find a body there. The man he let go has provided one, and has mutilated it enough to fool the bosses. Title?
