There are two towns in Kansas that rhyme--
Eureka and Topeka--this is used in 2 movie songs, 1 well-known and 1 not so well known
1st--not well known:
(sung to a Latin beat)
"But in Topeka, They would say oh gee,
One smile and I would shout Eureka"
2nd--too well known to quote from a musical classic
Please answer, title of 2 songs, the 2 movies, composers and , of course, performers.

I don't think Barbra ever played the gay bath houses of New York like Bette and Barry did.

Funny you should say that--I always thought it was Bette Davis and Judy Garland. Even in death, Joan is trying to steal Bette's admirers.

My dear M. 6, I consider myself to be very well-educated in Modern European Culture, but I admittedly shy away from the "Cabaret" era of German and Austrian culture.
Your question is right smack dab in the middle of it, and without a large clue I could not have figured this out. But you obviously have great knowledge of this area and are to be admired for it.
My favorite Top 40 record/song is "Mack the Knife"--I'm afraid that's where my culture takes me.
You're talking here about Bertolt Brecht's (and of course Kurt Weill's) *3 Penny Opera*--I can't give you the original German name of the musical-opera.
The Movie of the same title came out in 1931. I hope my answer is what you're looking for.
Monsieur, your mind is astounding!

While the valet is showing the business magnate how to approace a lady romantically, an electrician comes to change a light bulb and gets the wrong impresssion.--Obviously a pre-code movie

This is a real classic from the '40's, associated with radio stars.

I'll save the last one for another time. But if you want to take a quickie guess, go ahead.
Otherwise, I'm looking for a play starring Leslie Banks and Dr. Watson on Broadway. And Mr. Banks' claim to cinema immortality.

Thank you Ms. Lavender--but, obviously, I'm not as gifted in perspective as you are.
How is has Cindy Brady associated with the Hitchcock thriller: *The Man Who Knew Too Much*?
(FYI--the "Que Sera Sera" version)

How about Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon. I had the record "Palisades Park"--you ever been there?
But you're referring to his big hit--an old favorite rocked up--"Way Down Yonder in New Orleans"--really from my Grandmother's time.

FOREIGN MOVIE CLASSICS TRIVIA...
in Games and Trivia
Posted
And thanx again M. 6--
This Foreign film classic is morbid--it's all about death. It is situated in the post-World War I era after France had lost a generation of manhood.
The film's director stars himself in the film--he made many films and acted, occasionally, in them. But ironically this is his last acting work in his own films because he died several years later.
