Here's a very nice and interesting article on WINGS: (Post of Jan. 28, 2012): http://greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com/

Jean Heather?

How about "Mona Lisa" in the 1950 movie CAPTAIN CAREY USA? (Big hit song for Nat "King" Cole when lyrics were added).

> {quote:title=slaytonf wrote: > }{quote}Are there any earlier films (than 1930) that take place in the prisoner's world? Are there any silents that take place in prison? Is The Big House the one that set the pattern for all the ones that came later? > The 1927 Laurel & Hardy short THE SECOND HUNDRED YEARS is set in prison. And their 1929 short LIBERTY starts with them escaping. And Charlie Chaplin's 1917 short THE ADVENTURER has him escaping from prison.

No....... More clues: In addition to movies and TV, she also worked in theater and night clubs. She was best known as a dancer and choreographer, but also was an actress in dramatic roles, but in more comedies than dramas. She also produced a documentary on the star in whose 1950's TV show she was choreographer and dancing partner.

Clue 3: Four people die, but one is brought back to life.

Thanks...helpful hints are appreciated. (And note this time I didn't repeat your post!)

> {quote:title=lavenderblue19 wrote: > }{quote}*Three Wise Fools* ? No... Clue no. 2: It's wintertime.

Is she Eily Malyon ?

First clue: A big old house with three lonely old men.

> {quote:title=TikiSoo wrote: > }{quote}OK, without looking on IMDB, just your own observation....what actor/actress had the most non-starring appearances? > Another would be Emmett Vogan. A look at IMDb lists 505 titles, but there are almost certainly more.

> {quote:title=mr6666 wrote: > }{quote}Lucia di Lammermoor is a dramma tragico (tragic opera) in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. > "The Lucia Sextet" melody is used in Howard Hawks' gangster classic Scarface... > That tune is also very memorably done for comedy in two Three Stooges shorts: MICRO-PHONIES (1945) and SQUAREHEADS OF THE ROUND TABLE (1947).

Not who I'm thinking of, even if she may match some of the clues. More clues: In the 1960's she worked in two movies and one TV series starring one of the top comedians of the period (and of all-time, although there are some who don't care for him). In the 1950's she also made one comedy film with one of the most popular comedy teams in films. She is still living and doing well, although retired.

We're going to be looking for a person here, not a song or film title. She's an excellent dancer and choreographer. Started in Hollywood in the early 1950's. Appeared in lots of films in the 1950's but not in leading roles. She had success in 1950's television working with a certain popular star as his choreographer and dancing partner. Who is she?

5) Assuming that TV viewers would be too dumb to tell it apart from the 1959 classic, the title of the unrelated 1939 Bob Hope movie SOME LIKE IT HOT was changed when it was released to television. It became RHYTHM ROMANCE.

Thanks, and welcome back!

Francis Ford (brother of director John Ford).
