  1. Not Sanders, but I do see the resemblance. This actor's career goes back a lot further than Sanders'.

    This guy appears to be middle-aged, so that would put him back there. Looks like Jack Hawkins too, but he's in the wrong era along with Sanders.

     

    I believe lavender may have hit upon it.. 

     

    Here's Ty, Sr.

  2. Very early in Red Light (1949), Raymond Burr's character flashes back to the moment he was busted for embezzlement at his workplace. This is his motivation for having John Torno's brother, Jess Torno, killed - to get back at John Torno, whom he believed turned him in for his crime.

  3. You might hear something but it wouldn't sound like a pavement skid which is probably the sound effect they used.

     

    I heard another hum dinger in Intermezzo (1936) the original Swedish version with Ingrid Bergman.  The scene was on a ship and someone pointed to the gangway and said the Press are here to greet you.  Cut to a bunch of reporters on the gangway.  Fine.  Except the sound the used had reporters voices mixed with typewriters!

    I guess someone reached for the standard reporters sound effect and didn't have the brains to realize that it was reporters in a press room with typewriters.

    This brings to mind The Right Stuff (1983) - they used sounds of locust whenever reporters "swarmed". I thought that was pretty cool.

  4. :lol:

    You done me right.. Good going, KarmaGirl!

     

    Our star and playwright is, of course, Mae West and her famous line :

     

    Though Mae West's famous line to Cary Grant is "Why don't you come up some time and see me?" in She Done Him Wrong, she changed it to "Come up and see me sometime" in her next movie, I'm No Angel, which was released the same year and also co-starred Grant.

     

    Your thread

  5. 1.  At 66 minutes, this is the shortest film ever to be nominated for

         an Academy Award for Outstanding Production.

     

    2.  The star (actress) of this film has a very famous line, for which she rearranged the same words and 

         used in her next film. It is this second version which is quoted nearly 100% of the time.

     

    3.  The star of this film who speaks the famous line was also a playwright who, incidentally, wrote the play

         of a different name this film is based on in which she also starred.

     

    4.  The star actress claims to have discovered her leading man in this film, but he was in

         a film with another very famous actress a year earlier.

  6. I can't say if this is the one because I haven't heard the TCM version, but..

     

    "Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party"
                    COURTNEY BARNETT
     
    You always get what you want
    And you don't even try
    Your friends hate it when its always going your way
    But I'm glad that you've got luck on your side
    You're saying definitely maybe
    I'm saying probably no
    You say "You sleep when you're dead," I'm scared I'll die in my sleep
    I guess that's not a bad way to go
     
    I wanna go out but I wanna stay home
    I wanna go out but I wanna stay home
     
    Why are you so eager to please?
    I wear my heart on my sleeve
    Gets harder in the winter, gotta be a fake or shiver
    It takes a great deal out of me
    Yes I like hearing your stories
    But I've heard them all before
    I'd rather stay in bed with the rain over my head
    Than have to pick my brain up off of the floor
     
    I wanna go out but I wanna stay home
    I wanna go out but I wanna stay home
