The movie was set during the time of British withdrawal from India and involves the Anglo-Indian community and Indian Railway system....

Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West in " Re-Animator"...

You must be Ray Teal from Grand Rapids, MI, one of the most versatile character actors in the business...The judge role was in "Judgement At Nuremberg" as one of Spencer Tracy's judges....

Earlier than that...Remember this was in the mid fifties...and another clue : There was an all-black singing group featured in the movie... Edited by: mudskipper on Dec 4, 2010 5:28 PM

Ok, here's an interesting one... .Dan Rather once said that "An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger"....Well, you don't have to think of the Lone Ranger. There's an Oscar-winning movie where the William Tell Overture was played during an Indian attack....What movie was that ?

It's a little ironic because her big Broadway role in "The Pajama Game" (where Shirley MacLaine was discovered) went to Doris Day when it was made into a movie...Then she played that stage star role in the Doris Day movie "Please Don't Eat The Daisies"... Miles can have the thread, otherwise, it's open....

Bien sur !...C'est a votre tour, Mlle. Cujas...

Mike Nichols was talking about Stanley Kubrick....Fi's thread.

What do the movies "The High And The Mighty", "Friendly Persuasion", "High Noon", and "The Alamo" have in common ?

Juli Andrews sings "Star!" from "Star!"...?

That's right. Your turn, Miles.

This movie, based on a Harold Robbins novel, was supposed to star James Dean...A few years after Dean died, it was finally made into a musical starring a well-known performer. Many considered it the best movie he ever made....Name the movie and the actor..

I don't think QE II would specifically ask for that movie...There was something new and different about this movie's music and its performers that made her want to see it, probably out of curiosity....You can say it's the start of an era...

Janis Paige ?

This movie, set in India, was actually filmed in Pakistan. At that time, the cast stayed in the only suitable hotel in the city. Since then, the suite occupied by the lead actress, Room 55, to this day has been named in her honor. It has a large black and white smiling portrait of the actress....Name the movie and the actress...You can also name the Punjabi city if you want..

Right. Your thread...and the song is "Clover In The Meadow".. Edited by: mudskipper on Dec 3, 2010 2:03 AM

Thanks. Next, an easy one : "...All the trials and tribulation Better settle down and get myself a wife; And a wife would cook and sew for me, And come for me and go for me; And go for me and nag at me, The fingers she will wag at me, The money she will take from me; Ah, misery she'll make for me.. I think I'd better think it out again!.."

Barbra Streisand sings "No Wonder" from "Yentl"...music by Michel Legrand.

I think the 1st of March is Saint David's Day. He is the patron saint of Wales, so this must be a Welsh holiday. The only Welsh actor I can think of is Richard Burton....

LAURENCE HARVEY... Next--Actor/Character actor: __ __ A __ __ __ R __ __ __ L __ __ A __

Nope. Right era though...Lots of music..

Clue: ...The movie is about harness racing in Indiana and young love ....The singer plays a city boy who just arrived in the country...He is walking from the road down the driveway to the house while singing and whistling...The movie just started..

"Lilian Russell" is right....An interesting feature in this movie are the vaudeville performances of Eddie Foy, Jr. and also Joe Weber and Lew Fields...Your thread, Six.

"The Rains Came" with Tyrone Power & Myrna Loy ...

They all have the song "I Can't Give You Anything But Love"...
