Thanks. Here's a question about "The Court Jester". If the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle, where's the brew that is true? Careful, this one's a little tricky.

Yeah, pretty please with a cherry on top! I, for one, enjoy trying to identify them, and I'm sure many others do as well. Please keep them coming. Thanks.

Is it "The Sky's The Limit" and sung by Fred Astaire, who broke a lot of glasses, as I recall.

I believe the movie is "Fuzz" with Burt Reynods, Raquel Welch, and Yul Brynner. Burt Reynolds used to joke that when Raquel and Yul were together, they looked like an ad for a pawn shop. The movie was set in Boston. After the movie opened, there were a string of copycat burnings of homeless people in Boston by street toughs. The Boston police were enraged at the movie people for apparently inspiring the thugs to commit these heinous acts. If I am correct, I'll leave the thread open to whoever has something to post. I'll check back later.

No need to wait for me with picture threads. I never learned how to post pictures. Maybe someday. The picture is not from "King Kong" or "On The Town", so I need a clue or two.

Lana got it. I am Andy Devine. I got the part of the driver in "Stagecoach" because I had previous experience driving teams of horses. In "A Star Is Born", I played a young assistant director who took Janet Gaynor to the Hollywood Bowl. In the late forties I replaced Gabby Hayes in the Roy Rogers movies. My character's name was Cookie Bullfincher. My name was the same in each picture, but I had a different job in each one. I played a pilot in "No Island In The Sky" with John Wayne. In the fifties I played "Jingles" in "The Adventures Of Wild Bill Hickock" with Guy Madison. During that same period, I hosted a kid's show called "Andy's Gang". Later, I was a regular on the "Flipper" series. Good work, Lana. It's your turn. Tell me, do you remember who sponsored "Wild Bill Hickock" or "Andy's Gang"?

No, not Ward Bond. Remember, I played the jovial sidekick a lot. Here's a clue. In one of my non-western movies, I took a date to the Hollywood Bowl.

I'm here. I just got home from the Uconn basketball game. Do you know me? I was a very good college football player and that helped get me into a silent movie with some football scenes. When sound came in, I knew I would never be a leading man, so I concentrated on character roles. I was a large man with a distinctive but not distinguished voice. I moved easily between "A" list movies and low budget "B" pictures. I played the friend of the hero or sidekick many times. I worked for directors like Wellman and Ford. I also worked in action serials and I was in several pictures with John Wayne and quite a few with Roy Rogers. I got a part in one picture because I had some experience driving a team of horses. I was also a pilot and played one in a John Wayne film. During World War II, I trained pilots for the U.S. military. In the fifties. I got into TV work. In fact, I was in two TV series at the same time. One was a popular western that I co-starred in. Later, I worked in another TV series and some made for TV movies. I don't think that I ever played a villain. I guess that I just had that sunny, jovial disposition. Do you know me?

Yes, Barry Fitzgerald is the answer. That's who I thought the previous name was until I did a little looking. Barry Fitzgerald was born in 1888 and died in 1961. That's about the only difference between his description and Una O'Connor's. He made an early film in England for Alfred Hitchcock, and many years later appeared on Hitchcock's TV series. His real name was William Shields, and Arthur Shields was his brother. He was a favorite of director John Ford, and worked for Ford several times. He was Oscar nominated as both best actor and best supporting actor for the 1944 film "Going My Way", winning the supporting award. After that, the academy changed their rules, saying that you have to be one or the other, but you can't compete in both categories. Lavenderblue, it's your turn!

Thanks, let's just say that I looked a little. Now here's one that will sound familiar. I was born in Ireland and early in my career I was part of the famed Abbey players. I also changed my name for show business. I stood just a little over five feet tall. I came to Hollywood in the 1930's and spent most of my career as a supporting player. I did one thing that Una O'Connor did not do. I won an Oscar. In fact, my winning got the academy to make a rule change. I worked several times for an Irish-American director, as did my brother. Because of my accent, I was sometimes cast as cops or priests, although I was not a catholic. I returned to Ireland later in life and died in the 1960's. Do you know me?
