"Mr. And Mrs. Smith" with Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard ?

Clue:... In every episode of the series, the people are almost always traveling west...One of these episodes featured a white man who was captured by and spent time with Native Americans. This was based on a short story by a famous female western short story writer from Montana. More than ten years later this was re-made into a movie starring the original Dumbledore... Two other short stories by the same author were earlier made into western movies featuring several Oscar winners...Between the two movies, there are three Best Actor winners in one and two in the other. Of the Best Supporting Actor winners, there is one in each movie...You should have enough data to know who the authoress is and the movies and series mentioned.

That's correct....and some people believe that Hollywood did Mr. Ray an injustice. The story is in IMDB under Satyajit Ray and also on Wikipedia under "The Alien-Satyajit Ray"...for those unfamiliar with Ray, a good place to start is his masterpiece "Pather Panchali", a young boy's story set in a small village in India...

Next: Some people believe that the plot of this 1982 blockbuster has similarities and may have been influenced by a short science fiction story, "The Alien", which was written in 1967 by this world-renowned Indian director...Name the movie, the American director, and the Indian director.

Thanks,Fi. Next: This movie about the Battle of the Bulge, starred a comedian whose fees for performing in nightclubs rose considerably. During the filming, he repeatedly pleaded with the producer to let his character be killed off early so he can go back on the road and earn more money...The director's reply was "You're in it to the end, soldier."....Who was the comedian and what was the title of the movie ???

If you go to IMDB and look at the poster replica of "Carmen Jones" (1954), you can see Dorothy Dandridge's and Harry Belafonte's names above the movie title....
