  1. Iselin, Mrs - Angela Lansbury in The Manchurian Candidate
  2. Tiki and Cujas - I too dislike Charles Boyer, but I know it's purely psychological -- the first movie I saw him in was Gaslight. From then on every other movie I see him in makes me scream "DON'T TRUST HIM!!!! HE'S A KILLER!!!" But then I guess if he was a better actor I wouldn't feel that way.
  3. I'll bet they will. They can't resist a historical anniversary.
  4. Ziegfeld, Florenz - William Powell in The Great Ziegfeld
  5. As a Pepe Le Pew fan, I can't help liking Chevalier.
  6. I think the thing with Dick Van Dyke is that his bad accent is the one tragic flaw in his otherwise awesome performance, especially since his standard british accent for the old banker is really good. So you can't help wondering why someone didn't just say, "dude, just don't do an accent," or "just do your standard british," or something like that. Because, come on, Cary Grant played Yanks all the time using his same accent. But I know from Dick Van Dyke's interviews the poor guy knows his accent is terrible and is kind of embarrassed about it. And otherwise he's so good that I too can forgive him. The accent that is funny to me is this: in Thoroughly Modern Millie, Julie Andrews and James Fox are both british, yet James Fox is the one who puts on an American accent, and Julie doesn't even try. Why one and not the other? It seems odd.
  7. I adore Hammerstein. Glad it paid off. Here's the next one from an old movie. This song cracks me up: "Monkeys upon a tree never are very blue They never seem to be under par that is true Not like the ones you see on a bar in the zoo Monkeys upon a tree do the Monkey Doodle Doo" Forget who sang it, just name the movie and the main stars of the movie.
  8. Here's a couple "West Side Story" questions: 1. Only ONE of the "main characters" does all their own singing. Who is it? (i.e. not counting the supporting Jet and Shark girls or guys, but the main and secondary leads) 2. To take one of the answers, who dubs the singing for Russ Tamblyn?
  9. Good! You're up! (I should have said "5" or something, as there are a lot)
  10. Looks like "Laurence Olivier" NEXT: Director _ _ I _ _ _ _ R _ _ A _ _
  11. Name three movie roles in which the same actor won Best Actor/Actress Oscar AND the Tony for the SAME ROLE!

  13. I believe that is Jerome Kern (thanks for the hint): "Where's the Mate for Me" from Show Boat?
  14. Louis Armstrong was in PENNIES FROM HEAVEN with Bing Crosby
