Elmer Gantry ... Richard Brooks ... Jean Simmons

All correct laffite.  Elmer Gantry, Jean Simmons and Richard Brooks. The scene on the stage when the timbers were falling and everything is on fire was terrifying for Jean Simmons. Arthur Kennedy had suggested to Richard Brooks that he ply Jean with gin and milk. She had 5 of those drinks and it worked, she finished the scene. Here's the interesting connection with Great Expectations  (btw) one of my fav films, the scene where Jean is with Pip walking on the stairs, Jean was holding a candle and her apron did catch on fire. Maybe Jean remembering that incident is part of her reluctance to do the scene in Elmer Gantry ( btw) on of my top 10 fav films. Great work laffite, now it's back to you

Great Expectations, David Lean, Martita Hunt

Not the film I'm asking about but an excellent guess and it's interesting there is a connection with one of the  actresses in Great Expectations and the film the question is about!

If we are allowed to ask questions:  1) was he the star of the show?  2) did the show run in the 1970's or earlier?  I was thinking of someone but his first name is definitely Jewish (and his TV show only ran a season or two).

No, you need to wait for clues. I'll give you this, yes, he was the star. If you have a guess  just post it.  With a guess you get the next clue. btw, please post the next one in movie songs, you forgot to post the next one.

Thanks laffite

While making this film, the lead actress became so frightened while filming a scene the director got the actress drunk so she could complete the scene. The scene involved fire. The film won Oscars and was based on a famous novel. Film, director, actress ???

Thanks Peebs

Although many think this actor was Italian, he was Jewish. He was a stage, film actor  and known for his iconic tv role. He appeared in some films with Sinatra, Bette Davis, Tony Curtis, Mickey Rooney. His long running tv show is legendary. Actor and his famous tv show ??

Lavender -- do you mean Mrs. Winterbourne?  It was dreadful.  I think that was a movie with Ricki Lake and Shirley M.

No, not that one. it was some made for tv movie like a Lifetime movie before they changed and did more violent ones.  I've never seen Mrs. Winterborne. I wish I could remember but the plot was basically the same. It was probably 20 to 30 years ago

We get a Paramount network.  Maybe it will show up on that.  However, it would be missing Eddie's comments.  Was that Ginger Rogers in the TV version?

No, it was later than that. A contermporary version maybe in the 1980's or 1990's

I had the exact opposite experience as you, lavenderblue19. I was in the front General Admission area at a Peter Gabriel concert once when he pulled a Bruce Springsteen and laid back into the audience in the Mosh Pit area. I wasn't trying to touch him, but everyone around me was and in the process I got squashed and literally pushed to the ground. Next thing I knew, I felt a firm grasp on my shirt and I was propelled over the barrier (actually I think I hit it  a few times on the way 😵.) I was put on the ground and two security guards were asking me if I was hurt. I think I was probably crying by this time but I told them I was OK. Then they escorted me to an actual seat which was literally in the last row and in back of the stage. Then I really started to cry!  It was nice of them, though, to pull me over. People become such jerks at concerts. They're friendly before the show, then when it starts they start pushing you out of the way! 😒

I'm sorry you had that lousy experience Sage, you're so lucky that you weren't hurt even worse or stomped on by the crowd. My experience sounds as if it was a few years before yours when that mosh pit stupidity wasn't thought of at concerts. Yes, your security guards were not Hells Angels obviously and you were lucky they were watching out for you. Glad you were just frightened instead of seriously hurt.

Much safer and easier to be a bobby soxer at the Paramount and yell and swoon over Frank than what the generations that followed went thru!

Another good reason I'm considering getting Amazon Prime, Amazon prime Video has No Man of Her Own. It's about 3.99 to rent.

I can'lt remember the name of a made for tv movie and it's not listed im imdb, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a remake of it as a made for tv movie.

About the Night Editor  / Basic Instinct  comparison:  I'm just going to say this, and then I'm done with this argument.

I still it's possible,  even likely,  that Paul Verhoeven  at some point saw the film Night Editor and was influenced by it a bit in his making of Basic Instinct.  Of course it's not a step-by-step  remake.  But there are enough similarities that it's certainly reasonable to speculate he saw the earlier film and remembered it and maybe incorporated certain aspects of it into his own film.

True,  there are  certain recurring  tropes, stereotypes,  repeating themes,  etc.  in all crime movies.  And maybe the similarities between the two films are just coincidental.  But it's at least a valid consideration,  some of the points they have in common are pretty specific.  No need to mock the idea, anyway.

This post bears repeating that's why I'm quoting you. Only one check is allowed per post so I'm LIKING and THANKING your post. Hope this and your post are the last word but doubt it LOL

Sure.  Using bikers as security!   What could possibly go wrong?    Well, just ask Mick!   

  

Sepiatone

Absolutely, however no group including the Dead ever did that before at the Filmore East and I can't say for certain which concert ( the Dead at the Filmore, or the Stones at Altamont came first) but I'd imagine it would have been the Filmore concert).  Luckily my boyfriend and I didn't get clubbered in the head or worse. I did go to the Filmore many times after that, and no Biker security was there again, and of course had we seen the Bikers in the first place we probably would have thought twice about going into the building.

No, I'm pretty sure it wasn't our friend The Nipster who got into it with Eddie.

(...and now that I think about it, I think it might have been CaveGirl)

It was cavegirl and she  posted terrible things  on the bd. about  Eddie and more than once. He never returned after that, so I guess we have her/him to thank for Eddie's not returning to the bds.

 I was thinking how a man like Peter Grant could evolve into the monster you write of, Vautrin, and I thought of the rock world with its bouncers and other charming trappings: Sure enough, Peter Grant's history included security!   

At a Grateful Dead concert in the late '60's at the Filmore East, my boyfriend  and I were thrown out by Hell's  Angel types ( although I think they may have been Hells Angels). the people sitting next to us were smoking and asked us to pass the joint to the couple on the other side of us. This big brutish guy saw this I guess thought we were smoking, took my boyfriend and I and  by the collar, threw us down a flight of stairs and out of the Filmore. It was such a scary situation, he refused to listen to us that it wasn't us smoking, good thing that's all that creep did although there were some black and blues.  I was a Dead fan and had seen them many times but I lost a lot of respect for them because of the security measures they used.

As someone who has been diagnosed with Bipolar syndrome, I take issue with this. 

I have NEVER apologized to anyone I’ve ever stabbed. 
 

 

(kidding btw)

Thanks for saying I made a great point. about her apologizing each time she does something awful. but I'm not the one who suggests bi-polar, I wrote I don't know about that ( referring to the comment about bi-polar) I wrote she's a spoiled brat and mentally unbalanced.

I watched "Night Editor" last night, and thought it was pretty good.  Janis Carter played the bi-polar, high society dame to the hilt, and I loved it!  One minute she's all into William Gargan, but as soon as he hints they need to cool things off or end their relationship, she whips out the "well how will your wife and kid take it when they find out you're a philanderer" card!  Her mood swings in some scenes were enough to give you whiplash.  I picked up on the scene Eddie mentioned where the censors let it go, much to his surprise, about how excited Carter's character got when she witnessed the murder and wanted to; really wanted to see the dead girl's body.  I think she was more excited about the fact that the guy she really loved (Loring) actually killed someone, and she got to see it firsthand.

You make a point here that I made yesterday about how Janis' character always apologizes after she does something awful.  You call them mood swings,. She even admits that she doesn't know why she does these things. after stabbing Gargan, she says she's sorry and doesn't know why she did it and tells him she'll confess. BiPolar, don't know about that but ccertainly a spoiled brat and mentally unbalanced.

I liked The Talented Mr. Ripley (did anyone see the sequel with John M.?). I also like Strangers on a Train.  Never read Highsmith, but she didn't like Jews and she supposedly had the "hots" for Judy Holliday.

If true that's pretty funny considering Judy Holiday was Jewish.
