*Tom Jones* (Diane Cilento to Albert Finney)

*My Friend Irma* *Some Like it Hot* or *Some Came Running*

*Aelita, Queen of Mars* ?

Good guess, cujas, but the director of this film, tho able, is less celebrated than Hitchcock and the movie is of the ?B? variety? The suspect disappears and his friend steps in to exonerate him.

This celebrated and endlessly quotable fellow also said? ?And why did the critics turn on me so fiercely in the late fifties and the early sixties? I suspect it was a cabal to cut me down to what they thought was my size. And what is my size? It is, I trust, the size of an artist who has consistently given all that he has to give to his work, with a most peculiar passion.?

That?s right?Brodie starred in Anthony Mann?s *Desperate* and had supporting roles in other noirs, westerns, a couple of Elvis movies, etc.?He appeared on TV from the early ?50s to the late ?80s. It is said that he took his screen name from a man who jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886 and survived. Good work, mudskipper, it?s your thread.

Charles Nelson Reilly (very nice, Miles) Nickname of Dennis Quaid?s character in *Any Given Sunday* ?When love comes in and takes you for a spin?.____ la-la, c?est magnifique,? from a Cole Porter tune featured in *Les Girls* Billie Burke line from *Merrily We Live*, ?my mother always old me that children should be _____ and not heard.?

Thanks, lavender?I don?t care for fox hunts either, but in this case it was a great clue?here?s one: A man is the prime suspect in a murder?but he?s innocent.

John Qualen De Niro portrayed him in *The Untouchables* he had a ?Band of Renown? the sound Francis (the mule) might make?when not talking + actress married to Ossie

*Come Blow Your Horn* (I?d rather laugh than cry in this case) *Hobson?s Choice* or *Sophie?s Choice*

*Swing Time*

*The List of Adrian Messenger* ?

That?s right, lavender?*Deadline at Dawn* - stars Susan Hayward, Bill Williams and Paul Lukas?the only film Harold Clurman ever directed (he was Tony-nominated for ?Bus Stop,? among others, and had produced and directed ?Awake and Sing,? ?Golden Boy? and others for The Group Theater) ? one of the films on WB?s upcoming ?Film Noir Vol 5??good work, it?s yours!

Thanks, Miles. It wasn?t a deep research question (with apologies to Harry Warren)?as you know, I don?t generally pursue those?will return later?

I?m referring to his nom de film?

*The Browning Version*

*Women in Love* (Oliver Reed to Glenda Jackson)

*George Washington Slept Here* *Lady for a Day* or *Lady Sings the Blues*

*Going Places* was the film, ?Jeepers Creepers? by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer was the song and the horse?s name?Louis played Gabriel?

Actually it was *Deadline at Dawn* - still up (royal) Lady in Red

?I always had fun working with Kazan?

To recap?it?s film noir, it?s from the ?40s and co-stars an actress who later won an Oscar?the director was celebrated in the theater but made only one film?director, film actress?

This actor appeared in noir and crime classics - in more than 70 films overall (including westerns and light entertainment), and lots of TV. He was primarily a supporting actor, and worked with the likes of Richard Fleischer, Jacques Tourneur, Anthony Mann and Edward Dmytryk. His stage name had to do with taking a fall.
