I didn't think this would still be open when I came back, since it is:
Man: Why would a man leave his apartment three times on a rainy night with a suitcase and come back three times?
Woman: He likes the way his wife welcomes him home.

More Preston Sturges! That's from *Unfaithfully Yours* (very enjoyable film), Edgar Kennedy as Detective Sweeney.
I'm going to open the thread - it's bedtime for me! It's been fun...

I am Harry Davenport! I've told much of my story already, not too much more to say except that I made dozens of films in my last 14 years and, referring to something said earlier, that I was related by marriage to Lionel Barrymore. This year Canton, PA, where I lived for years before I came to Hollywood, held a celebration of my life, showing clips of my films at the Rialto Theatre (I knew it well) and talking about my career. It was sold out!!
Mr. 6's, good work...it is your thread

When Actor?s Equity magazine published my credits, they filled two pages. This was before I even made *Gone With the Wind, Meet Me in St. Louis* or most of the films I?m known for.
I have been called ?The Grand Old Man of American Stage and Screen? and when Bette Davis found out I?d passed away she said: ?Without a doubt, he was the greatest character actor of all time.? I worked right up to the end; I was in discussions on my last film when I died at 83. I was quoted as saying, ?a man should be able to stand on his feet at any age? when I was asked why I was working at such a ripe old age.

That's from *Holiday*, Katharine Hepburn as Linda Seton, I believe.
I think I saw this (on TV) before *Bringing Up Baby* or *The Philadelphia Story*. I liked Lew Ayres very much as Ned, the brother.

Well, thank you Mr. 6's - I'm kind of surprised, I really thought cmvgor had it. If there's anything you want to add about *The Male Animal*, go ahead. Sometimes, esp. when my movie is figured out quickly, I say what I still have to say about it when I hand off the thread to the next person...
I'll be back tomorrow with another movie...

You got it. I could quote Preston Sturges for days. What a writer!
Your turn!

It was after my beloved second wife died that I really pursued my movie career. I was nearly 70 by then, but my life had a ways to go yet. I closed our home and made my way to the West Coast. I had contacts and family in Hollywood and I got work immediately and lots of it. I was busy for the rest of my life playing a classic kindly, courtly, grandfatherly type.
