Is there more to this question or, perhaps, a hint?

Zsa Zsa Gabor

Bette Davis was in *A Stolen Life* with Glenn Ford.

George Sanders

Ruth Chatterton was in *Female* with George Brent.

*Dixie*

George Brent was in *The Great Lie* with Mary Astor.

Yeah!--That's the best scene in the movie!

I saw *Dodsworth* about 2 weeks ago--I liked it so much I watched it twice! The plot interested me The lifestyle was also entertaining. Most of all, I appreciated Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton and Mary Astor. The first two I haven't seen much of--but they were superb. Also, I liked the writing. I probably found the story intriguing because I personally related to it as a woman and as an American who has lived in Europe.-- ( Only critique was of David Niven-- a stiff beginner--but alot of fun to see.)

*The Battle of Algiers* must be one of the most popular films in Paris--I've been going there for over 40 years--and I never fail to see it listed in several theatres in the city. It's a virtual landmark of cinema there.

Now you can ask any question about the public and private lives of the Hollywoods Golden Era Studio Moguls. Also feel free to include studio executives and producers (don't forget the independent producers). First up-- Before entering the movie business, these moguls were in other professions: 1) Butchers or Meat sellers 2) Junk Dealer or Scrap Metal Businessman 3) Furrier or Designer Please give mogul and studio Big Hint--these represent the top 3 studios Edited by: cujas on Apr 11, 2011 4:20 PM

Shared Mr. Ed's telephone party-line.

Not to worry--we Miss Marple Christie fanatics will simply boycott the whole project. Without the diehards--the thing has no base. When people do this sort of thing for a new audience, they always, stupidly, count on keeping the old base. They'll be in for a surprise--like the BBC when they hired Geraldine McEwan to be a "with-it", sloppily bargain basement dressed Miss Marple. And if that wasn't bad enough, they completely changed some of the plots. It flopped and they recanted with a more traditional portrayal by Julie McKenzie. PS--Holmes did have some sort of mental abnormality--you can see that in Jeremy Brett's brilliant portrayals. Edited by: cujas on Apr 11, 2011 3:06 PM

"So this is the kingdom of heaven"--- Song, singer, & movie please.

Yes--a gritty one indeed. Mr. 6's turn--

In reponse to whom it may concern and whomever originated this thread. It's funny--I had someone mention this to me several years ago and I was too busy to get back with them. First place--Streep's film career could never come close to Hepburn's in vesatility or longevity--or for that matter quality, Then there's the matter of the stage career.--The plays and the musical. Plus one had to consider all the great actors and actresses that Hepburn worked with and held her own--if not enhancing their careers--Bogart, Tracy, John Barrymore, Cary Grant, Peter O'Toole, Jason Robards, Sidney Politier, Montgomery Clift --as well as the legendary directors: Cukor, Hawks, Ford, Capra, Huston, Mankiewicz--- I could go on and on-- I think it's typical of people, who have a limited knowledge of film history and who tend to see things in a limited perspective--i.e. their limited life-time, that they automatically believe that a current figure is always superior to someone they know little about. Streep may be an actress as good as, if not better than Hepburn--But Streep's time and place leave her with a career that is hardly equitable or in the same light year with Hepburn's.

Laraine Day

"Let's Face The Music & Dance" That was the gown with the Heavily-beaded sleeves that knocked Fred out on the first pirouette--but he kept on dancing--from *Follow the Fleet*

This is a noir film that is based on a true story-- What makes this film so unusual is that the the central casting in the movie are real people from a similiar town as the original story. Many have lines and act in their actual societal capacity--hospital clerks, police, small-town merchants etc. To keep the reality, this movie starts with interviews with the real participants. Please name the movie.
