Here's a hint. Think about the TV show, think about a novel and film very popular and iconic that would be the same sort of genre as the tv show. It's obvious who the actor is. I already wrote there were 3 main characters on the tv show. You named the other 2 using the clues, who was the 3rd lead in the show. The actor was in movies with Paul Newman, James Coburn, William Holden, Steve McQueen

Please look at the original question and answer it completly, Thanks. It is The Man From Uncle, however you did not answer this question completly. Info about David McCallum and Leo G Carroll were Clues, not the answer to the question. The question is about The Man From Uncle, not NCIS. Can't give it to you till it's completed. Who is the actor in the tv show and what novel/film was his character name taken from ??

One of the three leads in the TV show became a bit of a hearthrob. He's haircut was stylish and trendy for that time.

LOL Miles, I was watching Larry David on tv when I posted that. I'm well aware it's Jerry not Larry, and I certainly was NOT thinking of Larry Mathews. I'm the one who thought of the question and to be honest, it was such an easy question and I'm amazed there was only one response and took so long. Now, Chaya, your turn.

Thanks Swithin next She was a beauty contest winner., a singer and actress. She was in a very famous film that's mentioned on the bds. and shown often on TCM. She does not sing in this famous film. He was a bandleader, singer and actor. He reprised his famous Broadway role for the film. Couple, her famous film and his Broadway/film ????

Yes, Larry Mathers asked his mother for a drink of water while he was on the set of another production. Hitchcock was there, overheard him, approached him, got Larry a drink of water and addressed him as Mr. Mathers and asked if he'd be interested in being in a movie. Larry's show was Leave It To Beaver and John Forsythe starred in Bachelor Father and The Trouble With Harry with Larry as Shirley MacLaine's son. Both Beaver and Bachelor Father were on during the same years and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, his tv show was also on tv at that time too. Good work. Your thread Chaya

You're welcome Andrea, so glad that you're on the mend

Andrea, hoping that you're feeling much better asap. Sorry to read you're ill. I didn't watch the film, can't blame you for feeling that way about the programming.

Robert Donat and Renee Asherson ( Princess Katherine, Henry V) ???

The main character using the name this question is about, also shows up using that name in a Doris Day movie in an uncredited small role.

Chaya, you neglected to mention the Hitchcock film

Besides this actor who had an important role in the Hitchcock film, another actor had a starring role in the same Hitchcock film.. Both of these actors were in 2 different hit series basically at the same time. The question is about the first actor whose series lasted 6 seasons, this other actor's tv series lasted 5 seasons.

The TV Show ran for 4 seasons on NBC

Hi Star, Happy, Healthy New Year! Yes, The Model and The Marriage Broker. Thelma Ritter, Jeanne Crain and Scott Brady. Good work, your thread

Sorry, not Raymond His tv show ran for 6 seasons

Yes, that's the couple, Nancy Kelly and Edmond O'Brien. Nancy won a Tony for her Broadway performance in The Bad Seed and reprised the role in the film. Her brother was Jack Kelly,( Bart Maverick) and Edmond O'Brien is the husband. DOA, White Heat, and won his Oscar as Best Supporting actor for The Barefoot Contessa and nominated for Seven Days In May 10 years later. Good work Miles, you're up

In the letter, a man admits to the young woman that he's married but he still wants to continue seeing her. The young woman and the older woman meet to exchange pocketbooks and the older woman advises the young woman to stop seeing the man.

The tv show the question is about, had a spin-off tv show.

The wife's brother was a film and tv actor. He co-starred in a very popular, long running tv show that aired on ABC.

Sorry, not the actor and that's a good guess. The film the question is about was a 1950's film.

I agree about Liz and Wilding. I always thought that was strange, Wilding seemed like a big bore. Liz's taste in men was different, remember Eddie and John Warner? LOL and that construction guy Larry. She would have stuck with Mike Todd had he lived. I think Burton was a look alike to Mike Todd. next Before this actor had a co-starring role in a tv show, Hitchcock overheard him ask for a drink of water on another set. Hitchcock was so impressed with the actor he offered the actor an important role in a Hitchcock film. Film, and the actor ??

Your question was who got the better part between the 2 female stars. so who do you think got the better part? I answered your question, your turn to answer your question. Alastair Sim is everyone's favorite no matter what role he plays and he certainly had the role that was the most fun in the film, but he was not a female lead LOL

I would think it might be Stage Fright. Jane Wyman and Marlene Dietrich. Marlene was a huge star in the 1930's and nominated for an Oscar for Morocco and Jane won her Oscar in the late 1940's for Johnny Belinda. Marlene was her glamourous self, costumes, beautiful jewels while Jane was portrayed as dowdy looking in most scenes. Marlene's role I think was the better part because of the glamour and the mystery arounding her character in the film. The evil character is usually the more interesting character. Marlene is using Richard Todd, cheated on her husband, convincesTodd to kill her husband and she's carrying on with her manager. Jane's character is interesting since she does play Marlene's dresser and takes on a differesnt personna besides being the nice girl. They were both great parts but Marlene's was probably the the better role. ?????????????

The older woman looks inside the pocketbook hoping to find out whose it is so she can return it and get hers back. She finds a letter inside the pocketbook and reads the letter.

One of the co-stars was an actor in many classic films before this role in this tv show. He was the 3rd lead in the tv show .He is NOT the one with the character name that was used in the novel and very famous film. edited by me.
