"Why don't you just kiss her?" Dick Elliott also played the mayor of Mayberry at one time on "The Andy Griffith Show".

Are you Regis Toomey?

Dick Elliot

That would have been a correct answer except for the fact that "Centennial Summer" was a 1946 film and Kern died in 1945. Actually, the movie I'm looking for was released in late December of 1944 (I just looked it up), so I should probably revise the question to say that Kern died after the movie was released, but before the Oscar nominations were made. I gave you an extra little clue in the original question. Youu should be able to find it now.

Thanks. One of America's great songwriters was Jerome Kern. He was known for the productions "Show Boat" and "Roberta" that were adapted for the screen. He also wrote original music for movies such as "Swing Time". One of the songs that he wrote was featured in a movie that was released the same year that he died. He was nominated for an Oscar posthumously. If he had won, he would have preceded actor Peter Finch and lyricist Howard Ashman as posthumous winners, but the song did not win. Can you name the song that was nominated, but did not win? Wait, there's more. Can you name the picture it was from and who sang it? And even more, can you name the song that did win the Oscar that year?

That's the one, lavender. I saw it on TV once and thought it was pretty bad. I also thought the casting of Peter Fonda was rather strange. The thread is yours unless you want to go for the other one. It's a bit of a cult favorite and I will tell you that several of the principle actors and actresses have very small roles.

I'll give you another hint. In the film from the sixties, the French director's wife plays the female lead. She, however, was not French. In the older movie, the director was a man who specialized in horror and suspense films. Some of the actors and actresses were really small time.

Lesley Gore - Thanks for the compliment.

"The Major And The Minor"?

Yes, Clarence was discovered by producer Ivan Tors at Africa USA. The fact that he was cross-eyed and rather gentle gave Tors the idea to feature him in a movie. Tors also produced the "Flipper" movies and TV series. Good work Mr. sixes. Your turn now.

I think the answer is Paul Francis Webster. He won Oscars for "Secret love", "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" and "The Shadow Of Your Smile". He did the music for the animated series "Spiderman".

Sorry, not "Gentle Ben". This animal was, however. gentle around children. They had to get a stunt double for his more ferocious scenes. He had a unique physical feature.
-
Well. we've all found that there are a lot of old films that are not classics. Now:
There was an animal that was "discovered" in a California theme park by a Hollywood producer and was given the title role in a 1960's family oriented movie. A few years later, there was a TV series based on the movie, and this animal was featured again, although the TV series had a different title. No, it's not "Flipper". Can you name the animal and the TV series?

Ivan Triesault - a bit obscure. A character actor who played a lot of foreign officials. He was featured in "Notorious".

Glad to see you've been busy, Dan. This must be one of those questions that has more answers than either of us is aware of. The post 1960 movie I referred to is a trilogy with each segment directed by someone diffferent. The segment with the siblings was directed by a well known French director. The earlier movie that I referred to has little known performers and no mega stars, but has become a bit of a classic, if for nothing more than it's controversies. It's not especially well-acted. If you want to take the thread, you may, but if you want to look some more, think late 60's and early 30's.

Thanks, Dan. I got lucky on this one. It just came to me out of the blue. I don't know how I could have researched it. In the older movies, the screen credits used to include who played which part. In the modern day films, often the cast is just listed without indicating which characters they played. I don't know if Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons got screen credit for one or two roles in "The French Lieutenant's Woman". For "The Bride Of Frankenstein", IMDB lists both parts for Elsa Lanchester. And before some perfectionist points it out, Frankenstein was the doctor, not the creature, so his "Bride" was played by Flora Robson. Elsa Lanchester's character was intended to be the "bride" of the creature, but I don't believe they ever made it to the altar. Now:
There are at least two movies where a woman is falling in love with a man, who doesn't realize that he is the object of her desire. That in itself is not so unique, but in these two movies, the roles are played by real life sister and brother. They do not play sister and brother in the movie. One is a modern movie (post 1960), and starred two well known performers, and it was a major disappointment. Maybe audiences didn't want to see the actress falling for her brother. The other movie is from an earlier era and featured two small time performers. The movie, although made by a major studio, was somewhat controversial, and was pulled from release for a while. It, however, is much better known than the more modern movie. Can you name one of them? It would be a real coup if you could name them both.

I don't know if it's considered a classic, but I think it's "Green Light".
-
Well, I don't have a copy of this movie either, and if you're going by IMDB credits, then it won't fit, but what about "The Bride Of Frankenstein"? Elsa Lanchester plays Mary Shelley, who tells the story to her husband and guests, and, of course, she also plays the bride. I have a feeling that she only received screen credit for playing Mary Shelley.

Good answer. You're next.
-
Oui, oui, cmvgor. Your turn.

This is going to take a while so here are some more clues.
Clue No. 3. These are wartime romances.
Clue No. 4. The man with the suspicious past admits that he once killed a man and fled to avoid prosecution.
Clue No. 5. The young woman of a different race has a mother who encourages the romance.
Clue No. 6. The story is set in a remote part of the world.

Too easy? I should call you "Speedy". You're up again, sixes.

I just followed the clues and checked IMDB. It wasn't difficult. Now:

One man later starred in a detective series on TV. The other actor was a former male model.
