Miss Hepburn, that's the worst looking fingernail I've ever seen! Maybe so, young man, but it makes a great back scratcher.

That's because I got a little tricky and gave you an alternate, or reissue, title. Think Preston Sturges.

It may have been "For Those Who Think Young" with Woody Woodbury as the musician, and supporting roles for Bob Denver and Tina Louise before "Gilligan's Island".

Gee, finance, maybe you've been blacklisted. Maybe you're on a list like "Enemies Of Carlotta" from "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid". Actually, I suppose you have to join and get a password, as I did last year.

Who is Charles Oakley and didn't Joseph Cotten play a character named Charles Oakley in "Shadow Of A Doubt"? Tough to form that into a question, but remember, this is Jeopardy. By the way, one our members, theladyeve, conducted an interview with the actress who played young Ann Newton in that movie. Her name at the time was Edna May Wonacott and she is now living in Arizona. You can read the interview, which is very interesting, by going to TCM's Classic Film Union (CFU) and looking up theladyeve's blogs.

Well, you've got the right movie and actress. The song that I had in mind was "When I'm With You", which became a popular song of that time. I'll trust you on that spinach song. Tony Martin had a brief role as a radio singer. Shirley's last name in the movie was Barry. Her widowed father ran a soap company which sponsored a radio show. Tony Martin was one of the "Barry Baritones". Your thread, Mr. Sixes.

It's great if people have to do a little research. We all learn a lot when we do. You just want to avoid being too ambiguous or vague with the clues. We are not here to deceive, but to point people in the right direction. Welcome back, Violet.

Is it "The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu"?

Shirley Temple sang a song in a movie that was also sung by a woman in the same film. However, Shirley's lyrics were different from the woman's. Shirley's were more suitable for a little girl. What was the song? What was the title of the movie, and who was the woman? I won't wait for you to ask for another clue. I'll give it right now. The woman's real life husband also sang in the movie, although they had no scenes together.

Is it "Sahara"?

Could the song from "Guys And Dolls" be "A Woman In Love"?

In the stage version of "Guys And Dolls" there is a ballad called "My Time Of Day" which leads into another, better known, song called "I've Never Been In Love Before". In the movie version, both of these tunes are only used as background music. A new song called "Adelaide" was added. Frank Sinatra, as Nathan Detroit, sings it in a bar.

Great job. finance! You went three for three. Donald O'Connor had a very memorable comic song and dance with "Make 'Em Laugh". MGM was lucky that they were not sued by Cole Porter when the movie came out, because "Make 'Em Laugh" was very close to Porter's "Be A Clown", which MGM had featured a few years earlier in another Gene Kelly movie called "The Pirate". In "Show Boat", "I Have The Room Above Her" was sung by Alan Jones with Irene Dunne coming in at the end of the song. It was not used in MGM's 1951 version of "Show Boat", but does appear in many stage versions, including the 1993 revival that was produced by Hal Prince. In "South Pacific", "My Girl Back Home" was sung by John Kerr (actually by his voice dubber, Bill Lee") when Lt. Cable (Kerr ) is talking about his life back in the states. I hope you had fun researching these, finance. Now its your turn.

Thanks, Eve. It was your last clue that sent me in the right direction. All three of my guesses were movies based on true stories. Both "Since You Went Away" and "Summer Of '42" were wartime movies without any war scenes, and, of course, "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" was a hit song that was recorded my many artists. Now, for this next one, I was going to choose from three questions that I had in mind, but since they are all so similar, I decided to include them all. That's a dangerous thing. Some people, like myself, enjoy researching these questions. Others may not want to go through as much. Nevertheless, here it is. Part one: In the classic musical "Singin' In The Rain", most of the songs were written by Arthur Freed (the producer), and Nacio Herb Brown. All but one of their songs had been featured in much earlier movies. Freed and Brown did decide to write one new song just for this movie. Question # 1: What was the new song from Freed and Brown in "Singin' In The Rain"? Part two: In 1936, Universal made a film version of the Broadway hit "Show Boat", which had made it's debut in New York in 1927. For this movie version, they included one song by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein that was not in the original Broadway production. Question # 2: What was the new song in the 1936 version of "Show Boat"? Part three: "South Pacific" made it's Broadway debut in 1949. The movie version was made in 1958. For the movie, Rodgers and Hammerstein included one new song that had not been part of the original stage production. Question # 3: What was the new song in the movie version of "South Pacific"? As you're researching these, have some fun. Turn on your speakers, go to YouTube, and listen to some great songs from classic musicals.

Yes, It's Danny Williams. Mickey Rooney in "Babes On Broadway", Craig Stevens in "Since You Went Away", Danny Thomas in his TV series "Make Room For Daddy", and James MacArthur in "Hawaii Five-O" all played characters with that name. "Book 'em, Skipper", it's your turn!

I'll take one more shot at it now that you've provided more clues. Is it "Summer of '42", composed by Michel Legrand?

I will guess "Love Is a Many Splendored Thing". The song was written by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster, who had won an Oscar for "Secret Love" from "Calamity Jane". The score was by Alfred Newman, who won many Oscars.

I believe it's from "The Lives Of A Bengal Lancer". Franchot Tone plays "Mother Machree" on a pungi, which is a flute used by Indian snake charmers.

Here's one, and remember to answer in the form of a question. Mickey Rooney, Craig Stevens, Danny Thomas, and James MacArthur have all played characters with this name.

Is it "Since You Went Away" with a score by Max Steiner?

Right as rain, Mr. Sixes. "They Can't Take That Away From Me", a Gershwin song, was sung by Fred to Ginger in both movies. In "The Barkleys Of Broadway", he sang it as they danced. Did you know it, or did you have to do some research? Your turn now.
