160 "You..called..me..out of a sound sleep to report that Mary Kate and Ashley got new HAIRDOS??!!"

Yo, Sixes; Want to use it ? Want to open it?

Ziegler, Toby -- Richard Schiff on *The West Wing*

Correct, Edythe, and there's an ironic attachment to that fact. Mr. Howard's Oscar win -- due at least partly to Mr Hecht's work -- beat out Mr. Hecht's nomination (along with Charles McArthur) for the script of *Wuthering Heights*. Edythe's thread.

Could be Dale Evans. ???

Are none of the patrons of this thread familiar with this aspect of the production?

No takers? This is the kind of song you get exposed to when you have children or other young relatives to take to the movies. The theme is a retelling of a familiar story, adjusted to grammer-school age audiences.

...a bordillo full of hookers...a Harvard-educated Indian...

*160* "Why's the film crew here? Shouldn't you be at the stadium fire?"

*160* "Because I lost my watch!"

*They Were Expendable*

Issued -- Mid 1970s. Setting of story -- Edged into the 20th Century. Horses and horseless carriages on the street at the same time. A mention or two of the William H. Taft presidency The poorer man had some standing as former Cavalryman, lawman, etc. A bush-league Ned Buntline had featured him in a couple of dime novels, but he never profited from it. At best, it helped him cage the occasional drink. They had been working a hardscrabble gold mine when his partner robbed him of his money and his girl.

*They Still Call Me Bruce*

Thanks, Edythe. Onward, ever onward... ♫ Incredible as he is inept Whenever the history books are kept They'll call him the phony king of England A pox on the phony king of England! ♪ ♫ To late to be known as John the First, He's sure to be known as John the Worst. A pox on the phony king of England! ♪ ...animated...

*159* "Oh, pish-tush! That couldn't be the Ripper! That's 'is Royal 'iness the Prince of Wales 'havin' a night on the town!"

Sidney Howard won an Oscar as sole scriptwriter for the film. But accounts persist that he had written an overblown script that would have run about 6 hours. A man with a great reputation as a script doctor (and as a fast writer) did what is considered the final treatment of the script. Different accounts: he was paid either $5000 or $10,000 for this work. He got no screen credit. Who was that? Edited by: flashback42 on Jun 21, 2012 3:43 PM

The Sadder but Wiser Girl For Me performed by Prof. Hill in *The Music Man* ???

Yep. Never got to 50 Views. lavender's thread.

Oh yeah, that...Uh, Cricket employed as a conscience - iny, The Bell ___ porous strainer cloth. he tells actors what to do...

The wealthy combatant gets in a good haymaker, sends the other rolling down a slope. The wife he had refused to ransom then clocks him a good one, and both men wind up at the bottom of the gully. Film? Performers?

(8,495) This scripter was an early supporter of Zionism. Before the State of Israel was founded, when that area was still a part of Palestine, he openly supported revolt against the British occupation there. Result, his credited works were banned in the UK. The many, many uncredited films played there undetected.

Ulmer, Omar (PFC) -- Omar Doom in *Inglourious Bastards*

*They Shoot Horses, Don't They?*

Maurice Chevalier, oui? non?

There's this screenwriter, now deceased. 4 Oscar nominations, 2 more were Oscar wins, one of them unshared. Did a lot of well-paid, uncredited writing, polishing the scripts of others. Of his uncredited work on the script for GWTW, he reports in his autobiography that he kept trying to get rid of this character named "Ashley Wilkes" -- just have him not survive to come back from the War. He had never read the book, and the Suits wouldn't let him simplify things. Whodat?
