And also Karl Malden...

Clue: From a fifties musical...Exotic location..

He was in Louis L'Amour's "The Quick And The Dead" with Sam Elliott....

Yes, and one of my favorites too...."CHARGE !!!".... (I really shouldn't say that now that my wife is going Christmas shopping...)....Your thread, Cujas.

Actually, they say that the studio benefited from all the publicity.... What do Cornel Wilde and Gregory Peck have in common ?

Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgi's Night), the eve of May Day (May 1) is a national day of celebration in the Scandinavian countries to welcome Spring and celebrated with bonfires.....However, in Germany and eastern Europe, it is associated with sorcerers and witches , similar to Witches' Sabbath and Halloween .... In Disney's "Fantasia" (1940) they used Mussorgsky's "Night On Bald Mountain" to show the celebration and arrival by witches, demons, goblins and all sorts of evil spirits on Bald Mountain....The music in the scene where Mickey played with the sorcerer's wand was, appropriately, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" by Paul Dukas...For those who would like to introduce their stdents. children or grandchildren to light classical music, "Fantasia" is a very good place to start... your thread, six.

"It's A Wonderful Life" ?

Thanks, Miles... This popular comedy play was made into a movie while it was still playing on Broadway in 1941. According to the contract, the movie could not be shown until the Broadway run was finished. As a consequence, the movie was not released until 1944...What play and movie was that ?..

Sticking to classical music, " A Night On Bald Mountain" was featured prominently in what Disney movie ?

THE BARON OF ARIZONA Next:--- Ms. Peters' tune

Who said this : "My chief purpose in life is to fall in love. I don't know why I want to, but I do..."

"The Awful Truth".. ?

The movie has Red Buttons...

Woman: Do you get letters from your mother telling you everything you do is wrong ? Man: No, my mother thinks everything I do is right. Of course I don't tell her everything I do...

Omar Sharif played Nicky Arnstein in "Funny Girl" opposite Barbra Streisand's Fanny Brice.... In "The Rose of Washington Square", Alice Faye's character, Rose Sargent, was similar to Fanny Brice and even sang "My Man", Brice's signature song.... Tyrone Power played Nicky Arnstein under a different name, Barton DeWitt Clinton, because of legal issues....Apparently, Fanny Brice sued 20th Century Fox and the suit was settled out of court...

Clue:--- The movie also featured John Gilbert's ex-wife and John Ford's Best Actor Oscar winner. Here's a clip of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JanqcJLaUDI

In "Dracula" (1931), starring Bela Lugosi, excerpts from Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake'" was played in the opening credits...parts of Richard Wagner's overture from " Die Meistersinger of Nuremberg" was also in the soundtrack... Incidentally " parts of "Swan Lake" was also played in the opening credits of Boris Karloff's "The Mummy"... Mendelssohn's "Spring Song" and Schubert's "Ave Maria" were both in the soundtrack of "The Bride Of Frankenstein" with Elsa Lanchester..

Fred MacMurray as Peter Dawes in "The Gilded Lily' (1935)...

Will Rogers...

"Anything Goes" ? My guess would be Ethel Merman for the female lead since she does most of the female musical numbers, although Ida Lupino was also in the picture...

Correct...Your thread.

Karl Malden it is. Your thread, Fi...
