  1. I don't know who the actress is, but I believe the men are John "Dusty" King with the white shirt and Max "Alibi" Terhune with the checkered shirt. They made a couple of dozen westerns together in the "Range Busters" series for Monogram Studios in the early 1940's. Terhune had been in the "Three Mesquiteers" series at Republic Studios in the late thirties where he played a character named "Lullabye Joslyn". He was the comic relief in the group. He was also an accomplished ventriloquist, often working his dummy, Elmer Sneezeweed, into the picture. He had the same basic role in the "Range Busters" series. Here is a photo from 1943's "Haunted Ranch". I think you can see that the men's outfits are the same as those worn in the above photo. Of course, this could have been a different movie, since the cowboys wore the same outfits in most of the movies in the series. This made it easier to reuse stock footage in several films.
  2. This one was filmed at the Texas State Fairgrounds in Dallas in 1936, the 100th anniversary of the battle of the Alamo. Roy Rogers appeared as one of the Sons Of The Pioneers. This one's from 1961. Definitely not a remake.
  3. That was from 1933. The song was sung by Ginger Rogers and Art Jarrett. The song's composers, Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, made appearances in the movie. Here is a clip of rather poor quality: Do you suppose that the dance director had seen a few Busby Berkeley movies that year?

  8. This one introduced the song "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?" And This one introduced Mr. Belvedere, played by Clifton Webb. Do you remember this? And this?

  11. Thanks, Starlit. This next one shouldn't be too difficult: When you smile at me, I hear gypsy violinsWhen you dance with me, I'm in heaven when the music begins
  12. After two days, I'm surprised that no one has gotten it The song is "There's A Lull In My Life". It was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel for a movie called "Wake Up And Live" where it was sung by Alice Faye with Ben Bernie and his orchestra. Yowza, Yowza, Yowza! I couldn't find a film clip, but I did find this recording by Alice Faye.
  13. " You shout: " Who Done It?", Everyone goes, "The Good Humor Man", You yell: "No! No! A Thousand Times No!!", and you got a panic on your hands on the Fourth Of July!" Next: "I'm wishing, I'm wishing, for the one I __________, to ________ me, to __________ me someday"
  14. "Hi! My name is Gertie The Dinosaur and I have a Phone Booth to share with you." "Before you invest in The Shop Around The Corner, you should talk to an expert like The King Of Jazz." Next: "I've got the ________ in the morning and the _________ at night"
  15. Right movie, right singers, right composers, but wrong song title. Sorry Starlit, the song is "Could You Use Me?". Here it is: "Treat Me Rough" was sung by June Allyson, Mickey, and chorus earlier in the picture. That's okay, Starlit. You still get to go next.
  16. Ok, I'll tell you right now that this one is featured in an MGM musical. The girls who see meGrow soft and dreamyBut I'm a ganderWho won't philander You don't want it to be too easy, now do you?
  17. The song is "Mack The Black", written by Cole Porter for "The Pirate". It was sung by a very energetic Judy Garland. Here she is:
  18. Thanks. Yes, #19 is Dorothy Hart. for those of you who didn't see #11, here is another photo of her: I don't know why the first one didn't show up. It's Lynn Bari. She was in a multitude of movies playing a variety of roles. Once again, thanks to Princess, Lavender, and Peebs for playing. Princess and Lavender don't post photos, so Peebs gets to go next..
  19. I believe that on the show the horse was called Shadow Trail, but the horse's real name was Superstar.
  20. You've all done very well. We still need #11 and #19. #11 started off in small roles in the 1930's, often playing chorus girls. She started getting bigger roles in the early forties, appearing in some crime series films like the "Charlie Chan" and "The Falcon" series. She was also in some musicals, but her singing voice was dubbed. She was also a popular pin up girl during World War II. #19 had a rather short movie career in the late forties and early fifties, before turning to TV for work. However, she did manage to appear in several crime dramas, including films with George Raft and John Payne. She also appeared in several prison dramas.
  21. We'll call this one "Women Of Film Noir". If you are a fan of "Noir Alley" on TCM, or just a fan of crime dramas, some of these ladies should be easily recognizable. Some may be a bit more obscure. How many do you know? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11 . 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.
  22. Adam's Rib Next: A movie title Leading Brand Of Easter Egg Dye + "Toby Tyler Or _____ Weeks With A Circus" + George Eliot Wrote "The Mill ____ ____ Floss" + Disney Film "The ______ In The Willows"
  23. Yes, he goes way back in movies. He was in "Little Caesar" with Edward G. Robinson. He was the dance director in "42nd Street". He played "The Runt" in the Boston **** series with Chester Morris, and of course, he was Toothpick Charlie who gets rubbed out by Spats Colombo in "Some Like It Hot". Strangely, he played a character named Spats in a 1933 movie called "Sing, Sinner, Sing". After I posted the question, I watched a prison movie on TCM called "You Can't Get Away With Murder", starring Humphrey Bogart. There was George E. Stone playing a convict known as "Toad". Nice work, Lavender. It's your thread now.
  24. Thanks, Shutoo. That question reminds me that there was a veteran character actor who had a recurring role on the "Perry Mason" TV series and he was given screen credit. He was a very busy actor in the thirties and forties playing a variety of low-life types, and often with a colorful nickname. Can you name him , as well as the role he played on "Perry Mason"? Here are photos of him from the show:
