Not *Black Widow*, but an interesting choice
1. A broken-hearted woman pulls herself together and goes on a journey.
2. But it's not the trip she talked about and she doesn't go far away.
3. She has devised a plan, or should I say plot, to do anything but forget her heartache.
4. She carries a little black book with her?
5. Based on the work of a crime novelist; several of his books have been adapted for the screen.
6. One by one she finds and charms them...
7. Why? Retribution. She finds, charms and kills.
8. She's imprisoned. But...one of the men she's tracking is in the same jail.

The song was "Patricia" by Perez Prado (known as "the King of the Mambo"). While "Patricia" is used more than once in the film, it's most well-known for being featured in a striptease scene. Don't know if you know the song, if not, it was an instrumental prominently featuring the organ. It worked well with Nino Rota's score for *La Dolce Vita*.
Prado also had a hit with a cha-cha rendition of "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" that was featured in the 1954 movie, *Underwater!* with Jane Russell.

Yes I am! And it's your thread...

I won one Oscar, was nominated for four (in one year for two different films in the same category). My first film was *Citizen Cane* and the last notable film I worked on (and one of my very last films) was *Taxi Driver*

*Morgan* is the first and only name that comes to mind.
Ray, Joby and Diane

Maybe this will entice someone in to figure out this person and post the next one...
I worked with Orson Welles twice, Hitchcock nine times, Truffaut twice and Scorsese once...who am I?????

Ripley, Tom - Matt Damon in *The Talented Mr. Ripley*

I loved him in everything from the first film I remember, *The Long, Hot Summer* to "Empire Falls" on HBO. Really, he had such a long and varied career I don't think I could pick one out of the many. Who would've thought he could top Brick in *Cat on a Hot Tin Roof* - but then he did *The Hustler* and *Hud* (with *Sweet Bird of Youth* in between). *Hud* is a hard act to follow - but he did follow it with *Cool Hand Luke* (and with *Luke* he also became an icon of the counterculture for Luke's defiance of institutional authority). Did he stop there? No - a few years later it's *Butch Cassidy* with Redford - the ultimate in buddy films that no one has really touched since. But they did touch it a little, maybe just for grins, with *The Sting* a couple of years later. Talk about audacity. I'm skipping a few movies I love here, but the man had so many great roles...*The Verdict*...*Mr. and Mrs. Bridge*...*Road to Perdition*..."Our Town"..."Empire Falls." And then he did voice work. I so admire him for working almost to the very end - and for all the philanthropic and charitable work he did - and the salad dressings, for heaven's sake!!!!
I don't have a favorite film - but Paul Newman will always be at the very top of my list of favorites.

I fell for Joel McCrea in *The Palm Beach Story*, the love deepened with *Foreign Correspondent* and came to full maturity when he was partnered with Randolph Scott in *Ride the High Country*. I think McCrea is an underrated actor. The movies I mentioned cover three genres - screwball, suspense thriller and western. He could do it all seamlessly (and look great doing it, by the way)...
