A not so well-known movie, "The Bounty Killer" starring Dan Duryea and his son Peter Duryea....

PLYMOUTH ADVENTURE next: Pumpkin Pie

"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" ?... Edited by: mudskipper on Nov 25, 2010 5:58 PM

Happy Thanksgiving...You are right... Your thread, Lana.

Name two actresses who were nominated for the Oscar six times each but never won...

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles'?..

"Beyond or Beneath The Twelve Mile Reef" with Robert Wagner and Gilbert Roland as Greek sponge divers... There are two supporting actors that went on to successful TV careers-- Richard Boone who went on to star as Paladin in "Have Gun-Will Travel" and Peter Graves who starred in "Mission Impossible"....Incidentally, this movie was the third film shot by 20th Century Fox in Cinemascope. The first was "The Robe" and the second "How To Marry A Millionaire"...

"We're In The Money" (The Goldigger's Song) sung by Ginger Rogers with the refrain in pig latin from "The Goldiggers of 1933". You can see she did a good job with it on You Tube, Miles.The next line is: " Ereway inay etay onemay, athay aygay esay onehay"...

THE GAUCHO turkey

Cheaper By The Dozen ?

Is that Bruce Dern as Ben Garth in the "Outer Limits" episode "The Zanti Misfits"?

What do Natalie Wood, Mercedes McCambridge, and Jo Van Fleet have in common ?

This really great song, composed by Michel Legrand and with lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman (who have both been all but forgotten as contributors to the song), has been covered by lots of singers, but I think the best version is still the one from the movie, sung by Noel Harrison, Rex's son. ...Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind."

That's right. "The Mountain" with Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner as brothers. They were mountain climbers who ascended a snowy mountain to reach the survivors of a plane crash. Robert Wagner, as the evil brother, started looting the corpses...Your thread, Miles, and Happy Thanksgiving...

From 1937 to 1941, Don Ameche made six movies with this blond actress...

This is not from a musical, but the theme melody and lyrics are so good I thought I'd put it in: "...Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own, Down a highway to a cavern where the sun has never shone; Like a door that keeps revolving in a half-forgotten dream, Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in the stream; Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face, And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space..."

VERONICA CARTWRIGHT... Next---Character /supporting actress: __ __ __ __ E __ __ L __ __ __ __ __ E __ N

wild guess: "Miracle on 34th Street"?

They say that this movie, adapted from a best-selling book, and its TV adaptation in Japan was responsible for introducing a certain animal, considered a pest here, to that country...Name the movie, the kind of animal, and the author of the book.

First of all, I just want to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving...and watch your calories this coming holiday season.... Question:...In most of my movies, you may see me putting my hands on my cheeks and mumbling "Sheee"...Who am I ?

The false quisling...

"Fancy Pants" it is, a remake of "Ruggles At Red Gap", with butler Bob Hope giving Lucille Ball that ridiculous hairdo....Your thread. Edited by: mudskipper on Nov 24, 2010 9:15 PM

Carl Foreman wrote the screenplay with Humphrey Bogart in mind for the role of Shears, but Columbia Studios head Harry Cohn refused to allow Bogart out of another project... William Holden, then a major star, was brought into the project to provide "box office appeal" after Cary Grant turned down the role. He received $300,000 up front, and was guaranteed a 10% share of the profits, to be paid at the rate of $50,000 a year. This is one reason why Holden sued to stop the first American TV showing of the film in 1966, claiming it would hurt future box office receipts, on which he was dependent (The lawsuit was unsuccessful). Because the film made so much money, his shares eventually accumulated to the point where the studio was making more off the interest on the unpaid balance than Holden was paid per year. A settlement was reached where Holden was paid a lump sum, and any future payments were willed to a motion picture relief fund. Rock Hudson, then a major star, said that he was also offered the role of Shears but turned it down to make the flop "A Farewell To Arms" with Jennifer Jones...

Nope...This is color comedy . Although it has a different title, it is a remake of an earlier movie which had been filmed three times before.

Hedwig the Owl from the Harry Potter movies...
