  1. They were the first to play fictional detectives or secret agents on the screen:

     

    1) Louis Hayward was the first actor to play author Leslie Charteris' Simon Templar (The Saint) in "The Saint In New York"...

     

    2) Barry Nelson was the first to play Ian Fleming's James Bond in a TV adaptation of "Casino Royale" in the TV series "Climax" in 1954...

     

    3) Ralph Byrd was the first actor to play Chester Gould's Dick Tracy in the Republic movie serial "Dick Tracy"...

  2. Another Clue:-- The movie from which the scene was taken is about a cattle drive...It also featured Marlon Brando's ex-wife.

     

    The actor playing the dead cowhand acquired some sort of fame after quoting a line and acting in a movie starring a blue-eyed philantrophist...

  3. I guess Maureen O'Hara won the title "Queen Of Technicolor".You can have the thread, Lavender.... But the one I had in mind was Rhonda Fleming.... She was nicknamed the "Queen of Technicolor" because her fair complexion and flaming red hair photographed exceptionally well in Technicolor.[1]

  4. Clue #5: The actor who played the sheriff later died of AIDS....The actor who played the fugitive has a dimple on his chin (which was even mentioned in the movie when the sheriff was asking about him)....The actor who played the rancher married Patricia....

  5. Yep... Before Beetle Bailey there was "The Sad Sack" whose comic books were published by Harvey Publications...He was always peeling potatoes and carrying garbage cans...The movie wasn't very good and the plot was a little too stretched out. I'm not sure, but I suppose Jerry was thinking about the success of "At War With The Army" and "Jumping Jacks" when he made the movie...Your thread, Fi..

  6. "Blood Alley", starring John Wayne and Lauren Bacall, was the film. This is one of those anti-communist films during the cold war in the early fifties. At the start of the movie, John Wayne was confined in a cell, a prisoner of the Chinese communists. To prevent himself from being brainwashed, he invents an imaginary female (who is never shown in the movie) named "Baby". For some reason, I think as a gag by the directors, even when he is out of prison he continues to talk to her for about three quarters of the movie and even introduces her to Bacall. The refugees he was ferrying were supposed to be fleeing the communists since Hongkong was a British Colony at that time....

     

    Your thread, Metz.

  7. That's it...I think if Edmund Purdom's acting wasn't so stiff he could have gone farther as a star. The studio was building him up in the fifties...Your thread, Miles.

     

    By the way, you forgot one of the most popular singers of the fifties, one whose songs I grew up with....Vic Damone.

  8. Clue:-- For those not into classical music, the composer was Camille Saint-Saens...The western's story has been filmed and re-done several times since the thirties....and the animated movie is part of a series.
