"Johnny Get Angry" was my ginchiest 45 ever--after I warped it from over-playing I turned it over. On Joanie Sommers's b/w I found my theme to the 50's--"A Summer Place". She did a marvelous job, but I don't think the Dj's ever played the flip side. Anyway--Joanie had a terrific voice and was much more talented than "Popcicles".

Although he is an aclaimed classical artist, this man is playing the piano in a dive,

Yes, Miles--I was all vamped out! Vivienne also co-starred in Jerome Kern's "The Cat & the Fiddle" for MGM. Miles is up--

This always happens to me--Hadn't thought of him in years. Last weekend I bought his TV show, "The People's Choice"--and now he's gone. He was a brilliant child actor/star who fought like hell to be seriously considered as an adult actor. In later years, he worked as a TV executive and director. My last memory of him is a beautiful role he played as Angela Langsbury brother-in-law on "Murder She Wrote".

Don't think *Butterfield 8* exhibits innocence--not where I come from anyway.

Jean Arthur was in *The More the Merrier* with Charles Coburn.

Janet Leigh

There is the history of Walt Disney in Hollywood--Apparently none of the major studios would give him a tumble. He, indeed, became a major studio into himself. Since nearly all of the majors were Jewish owned and operated, could this have affected his opinion. For sure, the only anti-semitic Film Executive I knew of was Joseph P. Kennedy, the president's father.

FYI--My visiting journalism Prof at KU was the reporter that won the Pulitizer Prize for the Kent State Story. He was a much better instructor and grader than the "real" profs at the J Sch.

Last call for Terrence

Classical pianist is down on his luck--

This John Sturges also directed by Dad's favorite shoot-em up movie--*The Mangificent Seven*. But he did a swell job on Lana's "steamy soap", *By Love Possessed*, as well. Fi--which movie did you prefer? Fi's turn--

We're still looking for Larry Hart's muse-- She was a big Broadway star and her most memorable musical film role was in a Jerome Kern musical. I'm really "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered" why no one has reeled this one in yet.

Tres bien! I would only add that Gene Kelly's co-director, Stanley Donen, directed *Funny Face*. And he really filmed the movie in Paris--*An American In Paris* was filmed on the backlot at MGM. Miles, This next one is on you--- Edited by: cujas on May 4, 2011 6:14 PM

C. Bogle--In his day, Walt Disney was considered to be extremely right-winged. Look at the situation with Tommy Kirk--really his biggest child star--groomed for teenage stardom and beyond. So I supposed you could say Disney was prejudiced against Gay People as well. To get an idea of how extreme Disney was--think back. In the 50's No major studios had problems promoting Rock Hudson or Tab Hunter as big stars and matinee idols. Why then did Disney have to dump Tommy Kirk--really his biggest male star?

This director was noted for some of the grittiest, violent and insanely masculine films made in the '50's and '60's. Ironically he is also responsible for one of the lovely and passionate films made by Hollywood's queen of the soaps, also from the 50's and 60's era. Hint: this actress not only acted the parts, but lived them in real life, as well. Please name: Director -- 1 of his typical films and the Soap Opera Queen's film--

Terrence it's yours--Or do you want to open it up?

(Please note original question below) Hint: This song is from a movie starring Hollywood's greatest film dancer.

Please note questions & hints below-- In the way of a review-- She was a great Broadway Star and the muse for Larry Hart. He nearly married her, despite being Gay, and wrote his most famous song for her. Ironically her greatest film role in a musical was written by Jerome Kern. Star, Rodgers & Hart Song she was famous for and the show it came from. Hint: This R&H show was also made into a movie.

Martin Gabel played a pivotal role in *Marnie* with Sean Connery.

Frank Sinatra

Debbie Reynolds

Marty was one of Anthony Perkins' many victims in *Psycho*.
