You got it! It took me two days to come up with this and it took you less than an hour to get it. I'm going to have to get tougher in the future. Yes, Allan Jones, who was married to Irene Hervey. His most famous song was "Donkey Serenade" from "The Firefly" with Jeanette MacDonald. He sang it at the burial of the composer, Rudolf Friml. He also starred in the 1936 version of "Showboat" with Irene Dunne. He was also in "A Night At The Opera" and "A Day At The Races" with the Marx brothers, as well as "One Night In The Tropics" with Abbott And Costello. It's your turn, RobinsHood!

A man falls for a beautiful woman. However, she is married to a much older man. The marriage seems to be a mismatch. She convinces the new boyfriend that she will run off with him if he helps her kill the husband so she can get his life insurance money. The boyfriend is reluctant at first, but he is so obsessed with her that he agrees to do it. They kill the husband and he gets caught. Only then does he figure out that she has been playing him for the sap that he is. This basic plot has been used several times in movies, some of them considered to be classics. I know the title of this thread is Name The Movie, but in this case you are to name at least three movies where this is the basic plot. Don't name one, don't name two, but at least three. You get bonus points if you can name who played the woman, who played the boyfriend, and who played the husband in each movie.

Thanks, Robbo. Do you know me? I started out as a coal miner, but I had such a fine singing voice that I went to New York and Europe for classical training. I got my start in movies in the mid 1930's. I sang with Jeanette MacDonald, Irene Dunne, and other top stars. I worked in comedies with Abbott and Costello and the Marx brothers. During World War II, I was one of the first entertainers to travel to far off places to entertain our troops. After the war, I left movies for quite a while to concentrate on Broadway and concert appearances. I was married to an actress and we had a son who also became a singer. In my later years, we appeared together as father and son on an episode of "The Love Boat". I was closely associated with a song that I did in a movie. I later sang it over the grave of the composer at his burial. Do you know me?

Are you Steve McQueen?

You are correct, RobinsHood! Sal Mineo played a young Tony Curtis in "Six Bridges To Cross". He was one of the stars Of "Rebel Without A Cause" His co-stars, James Dean and Natalie Wood died tragically, James Dean in a car accident, and Natalie Wood by drowning. He played a native American in "Tonka" and drummer Gene Krupa in the biopic "The Gene Krupa Story". It's your turn now. Make it a good one!

Are you sure you have the right version. The one with Miriam Hopkins starred Fredric March and was made in 1931. The Spencer Tracy version was made in 1941 and co-starred your favorite, Lana Turner. I don't think Halliwell Hobbes was in it. I could be wrong, though.

And no one mentioned "Bull Durham". I didn't like one specific aspect of it. Tim Robbins' character, Nuke LaLoosh, was supposed to have a tremendous fast ball. If you have ever watched a pitcher deliver a 96 mph fastball, you know his motion is a lot faster than Robbins'. Tim was probably throwing at about 65 mph. But I'll take actors playing ballplayers over ballplayers trying to act. Have you ever seen "Safe At Home" with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris? Or how about "The Kid From Cleveland" with a young Russ Tamblyn and the 1948 Cleveland Indians? As I hinted at earlier, I think your age when seeing these movies has a lot to do with whether or not you like them. Have you seen "The Kid From Left Field" with then unknowns Lloyd Bridges and Fess Parker playing ballplayers? Joe E. Brown did a couple, "Elmer The Great" and "Alibi Ike". All of them a bit corny, but I saw them as a child and enjoyed them then. OK, what other baseball movies, good and bad, did you like or dislike?

Thanks, finance. Do you know me? I started as a child actor. In fact, I played one of the children in the original stage version of "The King And I". I soon got into TV and movies. I played Tony Curtis as a boy in one film. My big break came when I was cast as a sensitive but rebellious teenager in a film that became a sort of cult classic. In fact, three of the stars of that movie, including myself, would suffer tragic deaths. I found myself being typecast as sensitve teens, so, to change my image, I took on a variety of roles. I played a native American in a western and then found myself playing more ethnic roles, including Mexicans. I played a drummer in a biopic and I was very proud of the rave reviews I received for both my acting and my drumming. My career waned a bit, so I returned to the stage where I had quite a bit of success. It's a bit ironic that what was a good career move ultimately led to my death. One night, after a play rehearsal. I returned home and was assaulted and stabbed to death in an alley behind my apartment. I was only thirty-seven years old. Do you know me?

"Hollywood Hotel" is on Wednesday this week. It's not only Ted Healey's last picture, but it's interesting to see Louella Parsons and makeup artist Perc Westmore playing themselves. Johnny Mercer contributes some terrific lyrics. Dick Powell and Rosemary Lane sing a very nice number called "I''m Like A Fish Out Of Water" with some very topical lines, "Like Man O'War as an also ran, or like Sally Rand if she lost her fan". Later on that night you might want to catch "Ready, Willing, and Able". It features Ruby Keeler and Lee Dixon tap dancing on the keys of a giant typewriter. The male lead, Ross Alexander, committed suicide before the release of the movie, and the studio dropped his billing to fifth when it was released. The plots of both movies are rather slight, but the music is great!

Are you Peter Sellers?

Ellen DeGeneres Character Actress Merande Gershwin Show "Of ________ I Sing" Eddie Cantor Had A Hit With "________, She's Making Eyes At Me" + He Played The Title Role In "The Last Emperor"

Those are all good choices and to that list I would like to add "The Babe Ruth Story" with William Bendix, not that clunker with John Goodman, and two movies with Ray Milland, "Rhubarb" about a cat who is the good luck charm for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and "It Happens Every Spring". That's the one where Ray Milland is a pitcher who rubs the ball with a solution that makes it veer away from wood. Because he won by cheating, Major League Baseball would not endorse the movie, so in the film they did not use the name of any major league team or stadium. Ray Milland played for St. Louis, but they were not called The Cardinals or Browns. The stadiums were just named for the cities, like New York Stadium, or St. Louis Stadium. I also like "The Stratton Story" where James Stewart portrayed pitcher Monty Stratton, who lost a leg in an accident, but still came back to pitch in the majors. It's just coincidence, I'm sure, that all four of the movies I mentioned were made in the late 1940's and I saw them on television as a child in the late fifties and early sixties, just about the time that I was becoming a basball fan.
