That was indeed a tough one, Shutoo. I just followed the clues and did some research for those last two. This next question should be easy for anyone of a certain age.
If you remember the "Spin And Marty" serials on the original "Mickey Mouse Club", you may remember a ranch hand at the Triple R ranch named Ollie. He had a favorite expression that he used time and again whenever he expressed absolute amazement. Can you remember what that expression was?
Well, I'll be a blue nosed gopher

Is it "King Of The Underworld" with Humphrey Bogart and Kay Francis?
Yes and about time! LOL. King of The Underworld, Humphrey Bogart and Kay Francis. It's a remake of Dr. Socrates. Kay Francis is a favorite of mine, love her plus we get a young Bogey to boot. At any rate, thanks Miles, good work and you're up next

Did you know that Paulette Goddard left more than 20 million dollars to New York University (NYU)? They named one of their residence halls Goddard Hall, after her.
Yes, I did know that. It's interesting trivia.
I'll leave the Thread Open. I did the one before this one, Thanks

I saw the film when it came out. Never since. Didn't like it. I'd read the book first and thought it was better.
I also read the book before the movie came out in theaters. I was a single 20 something, living on my own in my own apartment and dating in NYC. The book scared the beegeebies out of me. I didn't see the film until I was happily married! A very frightening story.

Paulette Goddard was married 4 times. To answer your question though, husband 3 was Burgess Meredith. They made 3 films together. Diary of A Chambermaid was directed by Jean Renoir, On Our Merry Way and Second Chorus were the other 2 films they were in together. For me, one of the most frightening of all the Twilight Zones was Burgess Meredith sitting on the steps of the library with his broken glasses ( makes me shudder). Husband 4 was Erich Maria Remarques, he wrote All Quiet On The Western Front.
Paulette was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for All Proudly We Hail. Paulette's 2nd husband was Charlie Chaplin. Modern Times was her famous "silent" film.

My favorite Dreyfuss movie is, "Once Around." In that one he takes a character most people would hate, a pushy salesman who always has to be the center of attention, and makes him vulnerable and loveable. He's just brilliant in that, as are Holly Hunter and Danny Aiello.
I absolutely LOVE Once Around. It's a great film. Too bad it isn't shown that much. The whole cast, Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, Danny Aiello, Gena Rowlands and Laura San Giacomo, etc are all great in this very underated terrific film. Highly recommend this one.

The gangster kidnaps the man who was walking on the road, when the guy tells the gangster he's a writer and has written a book about Napoleon. The gangster admires Napoleon and wants him to ghostwrite his ( the gangster's) autobiography.
This film stars an iconic Oscar winning actor, he's probably the most recognizable actor ever in films. The film is shown on TCM

Wow I'm surprised at the responses here. I love Richard Dreyfuss, like every performance of his I've seen & think he's a fabulous actor, although I absolutely see how he's overacting can put off people. I've known people like Dreyfus-crazy loons in real life-but they translate great from the stage.
The Goodbye Girl is one of my favorite movies and although it already has a lot going for it, Dreyfuss' stagey-ness drama queen intensity really helped it in a way no one else would have. Plus, he's cute.
Same for most of his roles, he seems to add elements to a story no one else would have.
Great post Tiki, couldn't agree more. I love Richard Dreyfuss and I especially love The Goodbye Girl. It's another favorite that I've watched many times and always enjoy.

Next: Which Hitchcock film is based on a novel set in Paris and Marseille?
You need to wait for a confirmation from the poster who posted the question. What if your answer was incorrect? Please don't do that, have patience and wait for a yes or no from the poster who posted the last question. Thanks

Yes, Oskar Homolka and Joan Tetzel are the couple. He was Oscar nominated for his role as Uncle Chris in I Remember Mama. His Hitchcock role was in Sabotage as Verloc. He appeared in 3 Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes. He was also one of the professors in Ball of Fire.
Joan Tetzel was in Duel In the Sun with Gregory Peck. Her next film again starring Gregory Peck was in Hitchcock's Paradine Case. She was also in The File On Thelma Jordon starring Barbara Stanwyk and had a role in Hell Below Zero with Alan Ladd. She appeared in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

In NYC, we had Shock Theater (with Zacherley), and, a few years later, Chiller Theater.

Hume Cronyn was nominated as best supporting actor for his role in the "Seventh Cross"and his wife Jessica Tandy was also in this movie.
His Hitchcock movie is "Shadow of A Doubt".
Jessica Tandy, co-starred in Hitch's "The Birds".
In more recent films, they both were in "Cocoon" and she co-starred in "Driving Miss Daisy".
SorryPrincess. Not Hume and Jessica. I wrote in my clue that she was born in NY. Jessica was born in England.

Husband was not born in the USA. He had a 50 + year career on the stage, in films and some guest roles on tv. He was nominated for an Oscar for a role that was somewhat uncharacteristic compared to the roles he was usually cast to play.
The wife, although not a household name was a stage and film actress and did appear in some tv shows. She was born In NY. She appeared on Broadway and the London stage. She was in some movies with Alan Ladd, Barbara Stanwyck, Gregory Peck.
Both husband and wife worked with Alfred Hitchcock in films and tv. Couple, what was his Oscar nominated performance and give titles of some other films and name some of the wife's films and the titles of the Hitchcock films each had roles in ??????

Yes, but even then, watching 1930's films in the 1950's and 1960's, those films were considered old at least by me and "classic" is a definition that I'd give those films now.

Now y'all's just listing every movie you've ever watched. And since I once had a VHS library of cassettes that contained two movies each( that I managed to copy before macrovision) totaling 600 titles, it's a sure bet I sat through all of them while copying, and it's also a sure bet there's NO WAY I can remember them all. Since I had the cassettes numbered I did once put together a catalog of them all by number/titles, which due to the hurried move back in '11 which caused me to leave a lot of them behind, I'm without a source to refer to.
Sepiatone
Sorry, Sepia about your tapes, I 'm not listing every film I've ever seen, I'd be here all day if I did and I certainly wouldn't remember anyway and I'm sure you're not referring to my lists.. The ones I've listed are the ones that come to mind that I know I've seen numerous times over the years. I've loved classic films since I was a little girl so that's a lot of film watching years and a TON of films and a chance to see ones that I love over and over again.

OMGoodness. How could I forget The Searchers. I've seen this one so many, many times over the years. At least dozens of times. So many films, so little time! I'm forgetting to mention so many more.
