Paul Newman movie sequels:
the original movie: "Hud"
Actually, Hud was a direct descendant of Robin Hood and the original title was supposed to be "The Adventures of Hud Hood", but the director didn't want the public to confuse it with the Errol Flynn movie.
First sequel, Hud becomes an outlaw: "Hud Hood, The Hood"
Second sequel, Hud goes on the lam in the ghetto: "How The Hot Hood, Hud Hood, Hid in the Hood"...

Thanks, Lavender....It would be interesting to see if they had a spike in the number of cancer cases in St. George, Utah compared to the rest of the nation in the years following the atomic tests. I wonder if anybody ever did the statistics ?...Next:
This Oscar-winner, who was a superstar during the early silent era, donated his gold-plated Pierce-Arrow automobile to the Long Island Fire Dept. after another movie actor acquired the same kind of car, making the car no longer one-of-a-kind.... Who were the two stars?

Regarding "The Conqueror"(1956) starring John Wayne:

George, Utah|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George,_Utah|St. George, Utah], 137 miles (220 km) downwind of the United States government's [Nevada Test Site|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_Test_Site|Nevada Test Site]. In 1953, extensive above-ground [nuclear weapons|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon|Nuclear weapon] testing occurred at the test site, as part of [Operation Upshot-Knothole|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Upshot-Knothole|Operation Upshot-Knothole]. The cast and crew spent many difficult weeks on location, and in addition Hughes later shipped 60 tons of dirt back to Hollywood in order to match the Utah terrain and lend verisimilitude to studio re-shoots.^[[4]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-Straightdope-3]^ The filmmakers knew about the nuclear tests^[[4]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-Straightdope-3]^ but the federal government reassured residents that the tests caused no hazard to public health.^[[7]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-People-6]^
Powell died of cancer in January 1963, only a few years after the picture's completion. [Pedro Armendáriz|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Armend%C3%A1riz|Pedro Armendáriz] was diagnosed with [kidney cancer|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_cancer|Kidney cancer] in 1960 and committed [suicide|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide|Suicide] in 1963 after he learned his condition had become [terminal|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_illness|Terminal illness]. Hayward, Wayne, and Moorehead all died of cancer in the mid to late 1970s. Cast member actor [John Hoyt|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hoyt|John Hoyt] died of [lung cancer|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_cancer|Lung cancer] in 1991. Skeptics point to other factors such as the wide use of [tobacco|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco|Tobacco] — Wayne and Moorehead in particular were heavy smokers. The cast and crew totaled 220 people. By 1981, 91 of them had developed some form of cancer and 46 had died of the disease. Several of Wayne and Hayward's relatives also had cancer scares as well after visiting the set; [Michael Wayne|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Wayne|Michael Wayne] developed skin cancer, his brother [Patrick|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Wayne|Patrick Wayne] had a benign tumor removed from his breast and Hayward's son [Tim Barker|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Barker|Tim Barker] had a benign tumor removed from his mouth. ^[[7]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-People-6]^^[[8]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-7]^
Dr. Robert Pendleton, professor of biology at the [university of Utah|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Utah|University of Utah], stated, "With these numbers, this case could qualify as an epidemic. The connection between [fallout|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fallout|Nuclear fallout] radiation and cancer in individual cases has been practically impossible to prove conclusively. But in a group this size you'd expect only 30-some cancers to develop. With 91, I think the tie-in to their exposure on the set of The Conqueror would hold up in a court of law." Indeed, several cast and crew members, as well as relatives of those who died, considered suing the government for negligence, claiming it knew more about the hazards in the area than it let on.^[[7]|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-People-6]^[[|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conqueror_%28film%29#cite_note-8]

Here's a very nice song from a 1930's movie:
"...I'll never let you kiss me again
But if you do, I want you to know
I'll never let you go."
Song, performer, movie?

Speaking of "Island In The sun", has anybody noticed the similarities of a few bars between Benjamin's calypso song from "Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and Harry Belafonte's "Island In The Sun" ?:
