You are correct, Bagel. Good job. It's your turn now.

Is it "First Love" with Deanna Durbin and Robert Stack?

Which TV star had a hit record called "The Too Fat Polka" with lines like "I don't want her, you can have her, she's too fat for me"?

A drunken man gets into a fight with a wealthy man. The two are hauled off to the police station. The wealthy man makes bail and leaves. The drunken man doesn't have bail money, so he asks to use the telephone to call someone for help. The desk sergeant says "Sure, the phone's right over there. You do know how to use one, don't you?" The drunken man replies "Use one? Hey I invented the thing!"

That's "Man On The Flying Trapeze" with W.C. Fields as the husband.

The song is "Chu-Chi Face" from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". The song was written by Robert and Richard Sherman, although it was not a Disney movie.

Bob Fosse won all three awards in 1973. His Oscar was for Best Director for "Cabaret". His Tony was for director and choreographer of "Pippin" on Broadway. His Emmy was for directing and choreographing "Liza With A "Z", a TV special.

Nine-Pin Bowling is the prevalent bowling game throughout much of Europe. Check out the Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-pin_bowling
Of course, the game of Nine-Pins is mentioned in the story of Rip Van Winkle and that story is set in what is now New York State. This is from Wikipedia:
"Rip Van Winkle" is set in the years before and after the American Revolutionary War in a village at the foot of New York's Catskill Mountains where Rip Van Winkle, a Dutch-American villager, lives. One autumn day, Van Winkle wanders into the mountains with his dog Wolf to escape his wife's nagging. He hears his name called out and sees a man wearing antiquated Dutch clothing; he is carrying a keg up the mountain and requires help. Together, the men and Wolf proceed to a hollow in which Rip discovers the source of thunderous noises: a group of ornately dressed, silent, bearded men who are playing nine-pins.

How about adapted music for themes? "The Lone Ranger" started on radio in the 1930's, but the theme by Rossini was written more than a hundred years earlier. I can't imaging the show without the famous "William Tell Overture" as it's theme music. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear!
When Quaker Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice used the slogan"Shot From Guns", their commercials featured part of "The 1812 Overture".
Even the "F Troop" gang got into it.

One of the best horsemen was Ben Johnson, who had been a rodeo cowboy. In this clip from "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon", you will see that he does all of his own riding in this chase scene.

This has lingering long enough. #3 is Woodrow Parfrey.

You are correct, Bagel. Here is a clip from "Till The Clouds Roll By":

All of the songs for "Mary Poppins" were written by brothers Richard and Robert Sherman. They were the resident songwriters at the Disney studio starting with "The Absent-Minded Professor" and "The Parent Trap" in 1961. If you check their filmography on IMDB, you will find that they were involved in writing music for almost every Disney movie released in the sixties, seventies, and early eighties. Actually, their first work for Disney was a short song recorded by Annette Funicello in 1959. It was called "Tall Paul".

You are correct, Lavender. I never saw any resemblance between Liz and June, but apparently MGM didn't worry about that. June, of course, would spend a lot more time with Lassie in the fifties and early sixties.
Lavender, it's your turn now.

Do you know me? I was a child actress who was in a well known movie made in the 1940's. A sequel was made a couple of years later. In the sequel, some years have passed since the first movie, and now my character is a young woman. The character in the sequel was played by June Lockhart. In another movie around that same time, I played a young girl in the early part of the movie. During the course of the movie, my character ages into young adulthood. The character as a young adult was played by June Lockhart again. So, who am I? What were the movies?
-
It's "Let's Go Fly A Kite" from "Mary Poppins".

When I was in college, we had a young lady in our class whose name I believe was Donna Socket. We also had a guy in class named Robert Toomey. So, of course, we played that old game, if Donna Socket married Robert Toomey, her name would be Donna Socket Toomey. They never did marry each other, but I was hoping they would just so the newspaper wedding announcement would read "Socket-Toomey".
Bagel, it's your turn.

Yes, #10 is Fritz Weaver.
#3
#3 guested in practically every TV series from the late fifties until the early eighties. He was in "Planet Of The Apes", both on the big screen and TV. He was in several Clint Eastwood movies. He was in a movie that starred Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. He had a recurring role on "The Doris Day Show", but he was never a regular on any long running TV series. He played many storekeepers, clerks, and salesmen.

J Pat O'Malley is correct. He was Perkins in the "Spin And Marty" serials on "The Mickey Mouse Club". It was set at the Triple R ranch.
No. 6 is not Ida Moore. I believe that this little lady had a recurring role as Barney's landlady on "The Andy Griffith Show".
Here are more pictures of #3 and #10.

These guys had lengthy careers.

Yes, apparently it was a not so inside joke. Nice going, Lavender. It's your thread.
