  1. Swinging On A Star - Bing Crosby and the Mitchell Boys Choir - Going My Way - (I've  Loved this song since I was a little girl )
     
    Would you like to swing on a star
    Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    And be better off than you are
    Or would you rather be a mule
    A mule is an animal with long funny ears
    Kicks up at anything he hears
    His back is brawny but his brain is weak
    He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
    And by the way, if you hate to go to school
    You may grow up to be a mule
    Or would you like to swing on a star
    Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    And be better off than you are
    Or would you rather be a pig
    A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
    His shoes are a terrible disgrace
    He has no manners when he eats his food
    He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
    But if you don't care a feather or a fig
    You may grow up to be a pig
    Or would you like to swing on a star
    Carry moonbeams home in a jar
    And be better off than you are
    Or would you rather be a fish
    A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
    He can't write his name or read a book
    To fool the people is his only thought
    And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
    But then if that sort of life is what you wish
    You may grow up to be a fish
    A new kind of jumped up slippery fish
    And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
    Every day you meet quite a few
    So you see it's all up to you
    You can be better than you are
    You could be swingin' on a star
     
    Song title that mentions the word LOVE in the title

    Here's one that most TCM fans probably know.

    A man is being escorted to prison on a train.  He is handcuffed to a police detective.  The two men are on the observation platform on the rear of the train when the train starts going over a bridge.  In a desperate attempt to escape, the man pulls the detective off the train and the two go tumbling into a river.

    Do you know this movie?

    Funny, I was just thinking about It's A Wonderful World the other day. James Stewart and Claudette Colbert in a very funny comedy. I have an old tape of the film. It was on TCM a few weeks ago but I didn't get a chance to watch.

    This Classic Hollywood couple was unique.

    He was one of the founders and owners of a legendary Hollywood landmark, which was immortalized on "I Love Lucy".

    A remnant of that Landmark is something edible, which is still popular today.

    She was the tall, dark Beautiful Other Woman or vixen in dozens of classic comedies and dramas.

    With the Advent of television, she became one of the pioneering female icons, but not in front of the camera.

    When you identify this Classic Hollywood couple, please also name his Landmark, one of her classic films and her association with classic TV.

    Robert ( Bob) Cobb, founder and owner of the Brown Derby  and Gail Patrick. Gail Patrick was the producer for tv's Perry Mason, she was in My Man Godfrey and My Favorite Wife.  I Love a Cobb Salad named after Robert 
    Cobb.  The  hilarious Brown Derby episode with Bill Holden is one of my favorite episodes on I Love Lucy. btw Princess, Happy Thanksgiving :)

    Is it Ray Walston in My Favorite Martian with Bill Bixby?

    Yes, it is Ray Walston and My Favorite Martian. He said he regretted taking the role. although the money was good and he was friends with Bill Bixby but the role made him so recognizable as Uncle Martin that it stalled his career for a few years. He was in Spain and someone called him Uncle Martin and put 2 fingers behind his head as antennas LOL. Good work Peebs, you're up next

    Did anyone else think Gaby Rodgers resembled a cross between Barbara Barrie and Guiletta Massina?

    This was my first Mike Hammer.  I always enjoy Ralph Meeker, Albert Dekker never fails to deliver, and I appreciated the early outre Aldrich touches.  

    That ending, uh, really blew me away.

    I agree and good eye Bronxgirl, very strong resemblance to both.  LOL, blew us away and a  bang up ending

  8. Thanks Princess

    Even thugh this classic comedy tv show was a hit, the co-star  ( Emmy winner for a different show  years later)) said that he regretted doing this tv show. He was friends with his co-star and made money but he felt it slowed his career down for years since so many identified him with the role. He had been a supporting actor in quite a few famous films.  His co-star had 2 hit tv shows after this show. TV show, and the 2 stars ??

  9. My mom had the radio on too and my parents loved popular music,later  we had a stereo in the living room and tons of albums, so as a little girl I knew some of these.

    1. Mambo Italiano - Rosemary Clooney

    2. Papa Loves Mama - Perry Como

    6. Love and Marriage - Frank Sinatra

    10. Standing On the Corner( wacthing all the girls go by)- We had the album Mpst Happy Fella but the  Four Lads had a hit with the song

    Is it Darryl Hickman and Pamela Lincoln?  Who? you say.  He was a very busy child actor in the forties and a very busy adult actor from the fifties to the nineties.  They were both in a horror movie called "The Tingler" in the late fifties.  She did make a few  movies, including "Tootsie", but she mainly appeared on some TV soap operas.

    Daryl Hickman and Pamela Lincoln are the couple Miles. Yes, a very busy child actor and in some of our favorite classic movies. The Grapes of Wrath, Men of Boys Town, Leave Her To Heaven, The Human Comedy, Keeper of The Flame, The Strange Loves of Martha Ivers are just some of the great films Daryl was in.

    Yes, Pamela Lincoln was in Tootsie. She was in over 200 episodes of the soap opera The Doctors.  Daryl and Pamela met while they were both in William Castle's The Tingler starring Vincent Price. Thanks for the guess Princess, Miles it's your thread.

  11. Princess, I really hate doing this but that's not the couple. He started out as a child actor, and was in famous films as a child actor. and I mentioned  some of the actors he appeared with. Julie is much better known than the actress he was married to. It's a different horror movie.

    He was some very famous films, a few won Oscars for the film and the actors that were in the films.

  12. White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Connecticut. It Happened On Fifth Avenue, the Edmund Gwenn version of Miracle on 34th Street, Remember the Night,  The Man Who Came To Dinner, It's A Wonderful Life, Home Alone, and Home Alone Lost in NY,  the Alastair Sim version of A Christmas Carol, Come To the Stable and the very rarely shown on TCM,  The Lemon Drop Kid. I never tire of any of these and watch them every year, most more than once.

    He began his acting career as a child. He appeared in many films. Some of the actors in the films he appeared in were Shirley Temple, Spencer Tracy, Fred MacMurray, Van Johnson, Barbara Stanwyck. He appeared in many tv shows in the 1950's thru the 1990's. He was also a writer and producer. 

    She was not as well known as her husband but did appear in a famous horror movie and appeared mostly in tv shows. Her career lasted from the 1950's to the 1980;s. Husband and Wife and name some films and tv shows for each

    She was a singer and a character actress, who was noted for playing domestics.

    He was an actor in film and on radio, noted for playing private detectives and psychiatrists.

    Both were noted for memorable roles as voices in Disney animation classics.

    And neither one of them was born in the United States.

    When you identify this acting couple, please also list at least one film for each.

    Sounds like Tom Conway and Queenie Leonard.  Tom played the Falcon in 10  of those films, he was the psychiatrist in Cat People., Queenie voiced Princess in 101 Dalmations and was in And  Then There Was None

    actually agree with what Swithin said because I am one who does a bit of research on many questions that I take part in for this thread and several others, but I made my comment because I feel that there are so few who care to take the time to do likewise.  It becomes a three or four person thread.  It would be great to get more folks involved.  The research can be very informative for classic movie fans.

     

    Miles, I agree with you and Swithin. I've learned so much by doing the research. It's interesting and makes being part of the group more than just playing games with my time

    Princess, it's your turn.
