  1. Man returns after many years to find he has been pronounced legally dead and his wife has remarried. Hint: movie is not from the Golden era.
  2. The Tap Princess, thanks the Prince of Cowboys. Really an Astaire moment! In return, we'll do a cowboy number. The most famous of all cowboy numbers wasn't written by a cowboy at all but by a sophisticated composer. Can you name the song, composer, movie and singer who performed it?
  3. Priscilla Maria Veronica Black was the hatcheck girl at the Cavern in Liverpool. Her voice was right up there with the best--Lennon & what's is name wrote "Loved of the Loved", her first hit. But Cilla really charted with "You're My World". She and Dusty could have sung with the best of them--if they hadn't selected rock. They had first-rate Broadway voices. FYI--Per Baudelaire--his last work was a prose poem--"Mon Coeur a nu"--My Heart laid bare.
  4. Mr 6--where have you been? Mr. 6's turn--
  5. Fi, that's not the one I'm thinking of--not an actor but a professional collegue.(behind the scenes)
  6. Don't know anything much about Chris Rock--but Kurowsawa made *The High & The Low* in 1963, starring Toshiro Mifune. A Police drama-mystery. It was one of my favorites. I loved how the director used an Elvis Presley tune in a climatic scene--so cool!
  7. The way you wear your hat-- The way we danced till 3 The memory of all that No, no they can't take that away from me no "They Can't Take That Away From Me" Fred first sang it to Ginger in *Shall We Dance*--1937 Than he sang it and danced it with her in *The Barkleys of Broadway*--1949 Music by George Gershwin and Lyrics by Ira Gershwin (Ira, talking about his dead brother George, who died in 1937) This song is one of the very best ever written for Astaire and one he is closely associated with. You can also see the "Barkleys" version in *That's Entertainment*. (Also he performed this signature tune in his first TV special in 1958--"An Evening With Fred Astaire".

  8. Oh, where are my '70's going. First it was Dan Fogelberg and now Gerry Rafferty. I always had time for "Baker Street" on the car radio. And "Stuck in the Middle" may be the story of my life. I wish I could remember the '70's better, but it all gets rather vague near the end of the decade. I always took the Long Way Home. Edited by: cujas on Jan 6, 2011 5:49 PM
  9. This actress is currently one of the greatest ones in the world and it just so happens that she's French.
  10. Jimmy Van Heusen--should've guessed this sooner. He was famous for "cleaning" up Sinatra's habitual messes. Betty Grable & (male--not a spouse or boyfriend--professional collegue)
  11. Cary Grant was in *His Girl Friday* with Rosalind Russell.
  12. This is a tap dance guess--not much to go on here. "Tea for Two" from "No, No Nanette" by Vincent Youmans, Irving Caesar and Otto Harbach. 1930 movie of *No, No Nanette* starred Bernice Claire--so she probably sang "Tea for Two".
  13. Sounds like you're very right! Lavendarblue--
  14. Movie starred Truffaut's last Muse.
  15. Just a guess-- *This Gun For Hire*--Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake?
  16. Gregory Peck starred in *Roman Holiday* with Audrey Hepburn.
  17. Oh you pretty baby! Miles, You never let me down. Now, let's leave it to Miles.
  18. NO--a real American Actor's Actor
