A nice opening narration appropriate for our times:
" The Nile was always there, long before Cairo, long before the Tomb of Kings. It was the reason for everything. It's a little hard to grasp how far this river's been flowing.This is the rain that fell on Abyssinia; these are the waters drained from Central African lakes that have flowed four thousand miles to make Egypt green....The Nile has its memories. But however far back you may go, all the Nile's recollections have several things in common. There's always God for instance, or if you prefer, the Gods. It seems quite impossible to live beside the river and not to have visions of eternity. And there's always mystery..."

Sorry, I was wrong. Miyoshi Umeki won the Best Supporting Actress and not The Best Actress for "Sayonara". (For some reason I always thought she was in the Miiko Taka role..). Anyway, you're correct, Six. The thread is yours...

"Some Like It Hot"

The song is "The Man I Love" by George Gershwin. It is from the stage musical "Lady Be Good" (1924), but both movie versions of the play didn't have the song. "Lady Be Good" from 1929 was a silent movie. The 1941 version with Eleanor Powell had a completely different plot and didn't use the song. You might associate the song with Alan Alda since it was sung in two movies where he starred: "Rhapsody In Blue"(1945), George Gershwin's bio-picture, where it was sung by Hazel Scott, and "The Man I Love"(1947), where it was sung by Ida Lupino while being dubbed by Peg La Centra. Also, while it was an old standard for Billie Holiday, it wasn't featured in "Lady Sings The Blues", maybe because they didn't have the rights...

Actually. Lavender, you got everything. "The Hanging Tree" (1959) starred Gary Cooper and also featured George C. Scott, with a supporting role by Karl Malden....."The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) featured James Stewart, John Wayne, and Lee Marvin. Edmond O' Brien had a supporting role. ...And "A Man Called Horse"(1970), which was also the title of the Wagon Train episode, starred Richard Harris.
