Something's Gotta Give--
Phroso is up--

In some roles being beautiful, immature and natural is what's called for. Delmer Daves got just what he wanted. And it worked out beautifully.

The title "Professional Virgin" actually comes up in the dialogue of this movie and is attributed to a character.
Rest assured that the film in question is a comedy like "Pillow Talk" that takes place in NYC--but it was indeed a precursor to the Hudson/Day movies.

This unique "horror" actress starred in two legendary films--during which half the time she is portrayed by an animal or not seen. Her love life was also legendary and allegedly included --George Gerswhin, while he was in Hollywood writing for Astaire.
Movie and actress please:

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round
" when Edison recorded sound.
But ho, ho ho, Who's got the last laugh now?
Fred Astaire to Ginger Rogers in *Shall We Dance*.
"They All Laughed" by Ira & George Gershwin.
My favorite Astaire song.

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.

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.

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.

Hint--both films came from the same big studio
