It could be Steve McQueen with The Magnificent Seven and Wanted: Dead or Alive ??

He's the one..the 2 did some high jinx on the set of The Professionals. Good going!

Quick work,lav. Can you get his costar that abetted him? Someone significant in breaking a racial barrier?

Here's a trivia tidbit: Hollywood's neon smiling cowboy sign got an arrow shot through him when 2 costars of a western was being shot in the '60s. One of the costars was known for his drunken behavior on the set, The other wrote in his memoirs of the prank. Who were these 2 pranksters?

A Tony award winning musical went from Broadway to Hollywood. Once in Hollywood, it was shot in a format that would make the audience experience broadway's version Four members of the cast went on to star in the film version. Film kept the original title. Name of the Tony winner and title of the show ??

Muy no intelligente!! This sure is tougher than it seems. I found Yul Brynner and Brad Dexter in Invitation to A Gunfighter 1964?... I can't find any soundtrack info though.

Maybe its Charles Grapewin. He played Grandpa Reed in When I Grow Up?
-
You've been more than generous with clues..I'm not any closer to an answer. Can you tell me if that father is Walter Connolly? I've been trying since last night with Walters.

Hmmm. This is tough. I was struck at how many of the Magnificent Seven players were in The Great Escape together. That theme is one of my favorites..it's not a western. I've found Eli Wallach in westerns with good theme songs, Charles Bronson in Once upon a Time in the West...can't find any two together. How about a hint for old Edythe??

I did get the message yesterday. Thanks. That helped. The boards are sticky to say the least. Like watching paint dry.
Back to the drawing board, I'll have to come up with another stab at this.

A guess only...Auntie Mame? She did have a brother because he had a will but he never made it into film. Never saw the play so..just a guess.

That's the one. Bet not many of TCM fans would find that gem if not for you. Your thread.

I guess I expounded a little, huh... Which film has had the largest make-up budget in the history of film?

The Hollywood sign was originally built by a developer to advertise a new development and read "Hollywoodland". It was only a temporary billboard to last a year or so. The movie business changed all that. First the H was destroyed in an accident, then "land" was removed in the 40s. After decades of deterioration, the O splintered & in '78 Alice Cooper waged a campaign to restore the sign and in 2005 it was stripped back to metal and painted white. Wikipedia pointed out that best picture "Argo" used the sign in a dilapidated state but historically it would have been in a renovated state in '79.

Question wasn't very popular so to move along, Hollywood was originally know as The Holy Wood by the Cahuenga Indians. In 1907 Cecil B. DeMille determined the climate etc was good for filming releasing The Squaw Man in 1913. Open thread.
-
The second film was originally titled Uncle Silas and re-released as The Inheritance. Finance got 1/2 which is better than none. You may take it or pass.
-
You knew it so quickly that I'll accept that. The newspaper was floating on water. Yours, finance.

Thanks. The Behind the scenes facts of this 'early '50s film are some of the most famous. Its director went to his leading lady's dressing room and told her to act and talk like Eleanor Roosevelt. After thinking about it, said "That's the best piece of direction I have ever heard of." Director and actress ??
