Yes, I told you it was a "key" prop. Good work, Bagels. You get to post the next one.

Thanks, Lav. Now, after making a Hitchcock film, the lead actor kept a key prop from the film as a good luck memento. A few years later he gave it to the lead actress from the film. Quite a few years passed before she gave it to Hitchcock. Can you name the prop, the film, the actor, and the actress?
-
The film is "Strangers On A Train" and the quote is attributed to Farley Granger, saying that it was Ruth Roman that Hitchcock was mean to. The actress who had trouble getting around with the prop was Kasey Rogers, who played Farley Granger's wife. Hitch had her wearing very thick glasses to stay in character. It was Robert Walker who died less than a year after filming this movie.

That's correct, Starlit. Here is a clip:
That movie was made in 1941. Never one to waste a good song, Twentieth Century Fox used it as background music in a 1942 movie that also starred John Payne. It was called "To The Shores Of Tripoli". You can hear it at about the 6:20 mark of this clip:
Nice work, Star. You get the thread next.-

Shutoo, you're correct with Larue. I didn't remember the character's last name. She was played by Lynette Winter.
Friday's partner on "Dragnet", Officer Frank Smith, was played by Ben Alexander.
Shutoo, I didn't make guesses on the "funny clip quiz" because by the time I saw it, I thought all of the clips that I recognized had already been identified by others, but I did just get one and posted it.

Hint: It was written by the same songwriters who wrote "Chattanooga Choo Choo". The two songs were featured in the same movie.

I couldn't have put it better myself, Lavender. What has happened to our group here? Hey, Lavender, do you think that you and Princess and I could be the oldest members of these boards and everyone else is a generation or two behind? I certainly hope not.
Now, getting back to the subject matter- I had forgotten that there were two "Life Of Riley" series. The first one starred Jackie Gleason and ran less than a full season from 1949 to early 1950. It was cancelled because the sponsor pulled out. In that series, Sid Tomack played friend and neighbor Gillis. That was a bit too early for me. In the mid-fifties version, William Bendix was the star and Jim Gillis was played by Tom D'Andrea . All the others are correct. I'm sure that you noticed that Sid Melton and Ann Tyrrell were listed twice.
Now, maybe some clues will spark some responses.
2. Red Connors was a sidekick to a western hero. He was played by an actor who later played Uncle Joe Carson on a sixties sitcom with a rural theme.
7. Elvira Nugent was known as "Noogie" and she was the friend of the female star. Noogie was played by a former silent screen actress.
9. Larue was the teenage best friend of the female star of a sixties sitcom. The teen star of the show would later become an Oscar winner.
10. Peggy Fair was an African-American woman who was the secretary for a sixties detective.
11. El Toro was the Mexican sidekick to a western star in the early to mid fifties. The star was married to Barbara Hale.
14. George MacMichael was a friend and neighbor of a rural family that had moved from the east to California and had started a farm. George was played by a veteran comic actor who went back to the silent days, He was also a one time companion of Hopalong Cassidy.
18. Frank Smith was actually known as Officer Frank Smith. He was played by an actor who actually started out as a child actor in the silent screen days. This was a long running fifties crime show that had started as a radio show. It was revived in the sixties, but Frank Smith's character was replaced by another officer.

IMDB, where I got some of my information, lists many of the movies where she did stunt riding. The only one of those movies that featured Liz Taylor was "Elephant Walk" in 1954, and yes, Liz rode a horse in that movie, not an elephant.
One of the movies where Evelyn worked as a stunt rider was Disney's "Swiss Family Robinson" in 1960. The only person that she could have been riding for was Janet Munro, riding a zebra.

Thank You So Much for that info
You're welcome, Steven. I've been doing a little more digging and now I find that the actress in your photo is named Evelyn Finley and the movie is "Trail Riders", a Range Busters movie from 1942. It's available on YouTube. The scene that your photo is from is at about the 25 minute mark. Here it is:
Evelyn Finley was the leading lady in several "B" westerns in the late thirties and throughout the forties, but she was better known as the foremost female stunt rider in Hollywood for many years. She did the stunt riding for many leading actresses including Gale Storm, Loretta Young, Elizabeth Taylor, and Julie Adams. She was inducted into the Stuntmen's Hall Of Fame.
Do you recognize the outfit?
So, Steven, where did you find your photo?

Very good so far, Lav. Yes, Pat Brady used his real name on Roy's show. If anyone gets The Cowboy Channel, it's on weekday mornings at 10 AM.
There must be other folks out there that remember these other characters. It would be nice if they would chime in. Doesn't anyone remember #8 Ichabod "Icky" Mudd?
Richard Harrison isn't just the name of the guy from "Pawn Stars". Back in the sixties, that was the name of a teenage character on a popular sitcom.

Thanks Lav. That was a tough one. The clue about putting something on his face confused me. I kept thinking of a mask like the Lone Ranger or Zorro, but they didn't fit the rest of the question. I thought of Robert Q. Lewis because I knew he had been in "How To Succeed" with Rudy Vallee, but that was the only time that I remembered seeing him acting. I looked up his filmography as an actor and the Cary Grant movie was not there. Then I remembered that I only remembered him as a TV game show host or panelist and it dawned on me that he may have played himself in a movie. I checked his IMDB listing under "Self" and there it was, "An Affair To Remember".
Now, this next one shouldn't be too difficult for those of you of a certain age. Here is a list of characters from vintage TV shows. Each one was a friend, associate, or sidekick of the show's main character. For each name listed, can you identify the series where the character appeared, as well as the actor or actress who played that character?
1. Bernardo
2. Red Connors
3. Jimmy Olsen
4. Pat Brady
5. Jim Gillis
6. Vi Praskins
