  2. Could it be "The Man On The Flying Trapeze"?
  3. Is it "Comrade X"? (I posted this answer to the wrong thread earlier.)
  4. Is it Katherine Thalberg, the daughter of Norma Shearer and Irving Thalberg?
  5. I think you are referring to "Undercurrent" which was made in 1946. It starred Robert Taylor as the husband and Robert Mitchum as the brother, and was directed by Vincente Minnelli.
  6. Is it "Mr. Robinson Crusoe"?
  7. Yes, forever to be known as Col. Klinck. I actually met a relative of Werner Klemperer some years ago while playing golf on Cape Cod. Elsa Klemperer was a very pleasant older woman with a freckled weather beaten face. When she introduced herself, I asked if she was related to Werner and indeed she was. As we played nine holes together, I found out a lot about Werner and his father, Otto. Apparently, Otto was a world renowned symphony conductor. Werner had finished "Hogan's Heroes" a few years before, but was still working in television doing guest star roles. She said that it was funny that Werner had tried hard to lose his German accent so he would be a more versatile actor, but it was his accent and his name that helped him get his best known acting jobs. I don't think Elsa is with us anymore, she would probably be around 100, but I must say that I enjoyed our afternoon together. Now it's your turn, finance.
  8. Thanks, Cujas. My bio reads a lot like Efrem Zimbalist's. My father was a well known conductor of classical music in Europe and my mother was a soprano. We were Jews who were forced to flee Europe when Hitler came to power in the 1930's. I was just a young teenager at the time. I finished high school in the U.S. and went on to college as well. I served in the U.S. army in World War II. I followed in my parents footsteps and became a concert violinist and pianist, sometimes appearing in orchestras conducted by my father. I also sang in some operas. I had become interested in drama in college and decided to also pursue an acting career. In the 1950's, I did a lot of TV work and a few character roles in movies. I was in Hitchcock's "The Wrong Man", as well as a few episodes of his TV series. I was in a couple of movies with Cary Grant. My big film was "Judgement At Nuremberg". In the sixties, I landed a role in a long running TV series for which I'll always be remembered. I agreed to do it only if I could play the character as a buffoon, because he represented something that was reprehensible to me. I guess I was to be forever typecast. Years later I voiced that character in an episode of "The Simpsons". Do you know me?

  16. Is it "Hello, Dolly" with Gene Kelly directing, Roger Edens as executive producer and Lenny Hayton doing orchestrations? I couldn't name the other Freed unit members.
  17. Portman I was going for the name REED Marty, Woody, Karen, and Steve
  18. Enough time has gone by. The name I was looking for was STAHL. You all know Lesley from "60 Minutes", Richard was a character actor, and Nick was featured in "Terminator 3". Now: Donna, Robert, and Rex This should be easier.
  19. I guess I should have watched "The Great Lie" again. Perhaps it would have helped with my memory of Mary Astor's book. Oh, and by the way, Eve is right again about Ernst Lubitsch and the two movies. Your turn, Eve!
  20. Thanks, Eve. I remember reading "A Life On Film" years ago. Did you know that Mary Astor also did most of her own piano playing in the movie. She had taken lessons for years as a child. Now here is something that is a bit obscure. Walter Pidgeon and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. played the same role, eighteen years apart. The two movies had different titles and their characters had different names, but both films were versions of a 1920's Broadway play that had originally been filmed as a silent movie. The later film was also the last for one of Hollywood's more famous directors. What were the names of the movies?
