Lav, you own this question, beautiful technicolor, raven-haired rider riding with such a driven objective...something about ashes?

Gentleman Jim?

Peace and respite here, sung beautifully in a '50s film: SONG TITLE, FILM, SONGSTRESS? Sunbeams are gently fading And birds are waiting to do their mating. When eventide is nigh Moonbeams are descending, The day is ending, a happy ending.

How did you gues???Must be your background in law. Yours, fi.

Surprisingly, this supporting actress earned a degree in mathematics in 1906, switched gears and went into law, became the 1st lawyer in her home state.. It was after the stock market crash that she broke into film, and took on the last name of the character she first played. Matronly middle-aged roles were her best. Any guesses?

In SueSue's absence I'll do one: Tolstoy novel ___ and Peace famous tenor __rico Caruso Mr. X player Turhan ___ + Cher/Joan Plowright share ___ with Mussolini

More letters: F__EDR__ __ MA__C__

SCARAMOUCHE next: 3 word title THANKS TOO, LARA

Is it The Eddy Duchin Story?

Is it Laugh Your Way through Life by Eddie Cantor/ Ali Baba Goes to Town?

Two actors were both fired by the same director and studio on the same day. One went on to legendary actor/director status. He was fired that day for having too big an "Adam's Apple, the other for pushing the director in a water tank. Name the actor/director. Extra credit if you name the other actor.

A British film with an all British cast and director, about a legendary British duo was tagged: The words. The music. The women. The scandals...and it was! Can you name this Oscar nominated film from the UK?

Charles Chaplin is right, flash. Your thread.

Well muddy, Edythe had brain drain. She apologizes and scramble one for us now.

Good post, muddy: Sir Richard Attenborough lost his daughter on Boxing Day in the tsunami of 2004. I believe Boxing Day is the day after Christmas (?) in GB. ?

HOUSE OF USHER next: movie (4 words) PA, ZERO FRIENDS, NO?

I think you are referring to William Katt, also known as The Greatest American Hero of the '80s. Dad was Bill Williams and Mom is Barbara Hale. Am I right?

I'll do a quick one: Legendary director, with a legendary life. "Words are cheap, the biggest thing you can say is elephant".

It's Bela Lugosi alright. Your thread.

Barking dogs it is, 2 scenes were on a train, I'm sure there are more chasing convicts or something, but my favorite, the dogs attacking that poor turkey in A Christmas Story. Your thread. Happy Halloween!

This actor also had a string of wives, none famous however. He emigrated to the US after being an activist before the war. He started on Broadway in the '20s as this title character. When a famous actor died, he landed the role in the film of the same name. Although he never won an Oscar, he was one of 5 who were featured on a commemorative set of 32 cent US postage stamps. Who was he?

Right track, you're in the station. Verna Felton was the voice of the fairy godmother, one role that endeared her to all of us. I first saw her on December Bride and couldn't wait to see her every week. I loved that show. She and Walt Disney died within a day of each other during their last film together, The Jungle Book. Great, cujas, your thread.

I'm doing the same: 1) Picnic 2) The Man with the Golden Arm 3) The Eddie Duchin Story 4) Vertigo ? Kim Novak

Does anyone want this thread in 6's absence?
