Well, Miles--you always like people to do research and I did to get your answer. But let's start with tap dancing--something I don't have to research Eleanor Powell's movie "Ship Ahoy" featured Tommy Dorsey and his Orch. playing his theme song in 1942--of course Ellie danced to it. And "Dubarry" was in 1943 with another tap dancer starring. (Gene Kelly, of course) Now comes the research because I don't like "Abbot & Costello" --Carol Bruce appeared in *Keep 'Em Flying" in 1941 and sang the song. And since I don't like "WKRP" I had to look her up too. Fi can have this thread-- I just wanted you to recognize the Tap Dancers in this question. We tried to co-exist with the big bands but sometimes we got lost in the Shuffle (ball-change.)--That's a tap joke. Edited by: cujas on Mar 21, 2011 5:48 PM

*As Young As You Feel* next: Henry Stephenson Irvin S. Cobb Lucile Watson

Bizarre twist of fate for Guy Madison-- I always thought your name came from Cowan's character in *The Maltese Falcon* ( Long played the same in earlier version). But knowing you, I now realize you must be named for Guy Madison in *The Charge at Feather River". Miles, by Jingles, you're a cowboy through and through.

Movie co-stars a child of one of the 1st big silent stars--a founder of UA.

From Lee Tracy to the "Professional Virgin" Please give me the film about a "Professional Virgin" and a brief explanation of what it meant within that context.

Thank-you. This next question involves what a writer can do to bring out the unusual or the potential of an actor. The following artists were stretched by the touch of this writer to createng roles uncharateristic of their screen type or as some might say--beyond their usual perfromance. Bing Crosby Tony Curtis Jack Palance Cary Grant This question isn't easy--but not so hard either. Name the writer and the 4 movies.

Fi--that was a very good one. Now--2 movies with a similar plot line: 1) Local European Native is fired from an American Embassy job in Europe for "fraternizing" with an American employee. 2) Local Asian Native is fired from a British hospital in Asia for "fraternizing" with a married American. What are:_______________________?

Brian Wilson wrote much of Jan & Dean's stuff, as you probably well know.

Worry--I spent my summer nights enjoying Judy in St. Louis, Jeanette MacDonald in Paris and the first film I saw at 9 was *Of Human Bondage*--It taught me to have compassion for people who were disabled and not to take advantage of persons in difficulty. And Bette in *A Stolen Life* taught me that honesty will out.

Flashback--we're laid back here, indeed. Your response is correct. Every Fri night I still get my kicks on "Route 66". Flash is up--

Being Cuban is a nationality not a race or an ethnicity.

Hint: the answer is close to your name--

Hint it's a Dandie Dimont named Jane. Of course, takes place in England.

"You know, at first, I didn't like you."--Ellie "Oh, I'm like olives: you've got to get use to me." Una Patter from the Queen of Tap's *Born To Dance". All of your films co-star the marvelous Una Merkel.

Being a life long fan of Brian Wilson's, I've always wanted to know more about Dick Dale's music. Can you tell me how he inspired Brian's writing?

Dear Movie Madness-- I grew up watching nearly all the films on TCM--saw most of the 30's and 40's and many stark ones from the 50's, like East of Eden and Waterfront before I was 12. And if I may say so, I didn't turn out so badly. Get a Grip.
