Falwell, Rev. Jerry -- Richard Paul in *The People Vs. Larry Flynt* (1995)

---sounds like an opera plot. Next up: Belongamick

*The Only Thing* (1925) And Ms. Bordman is Princess of Svenborg. ???

Not *Johnny Guitar*

Buchanan, Tom -- Randolph Scott in *Buchanan Rides Alone* (1958)

Not Kolchak, but the others are correct, stick. Mr. Morse, one of those Brits who could melt into an American character, with ease, earned the title "most hated man in America" during the run of *The Fugitive* (1963-67). Jack Colvin, in the role of Jack McGee, did get his "heavy McGee" episode, wherein he wandered around in camera-front space, doing his 'fearless investigator' shtick, and ever so often Lou Ferrigano would come busting through the landscape in a distance shot. The point being he never got closer than that. Both Mr. Morse and Mr. Colvin had busy careers apart from their respective series. Mr. Colvin spent most of his career in live theater. stick's thread.

That one has parallels, of course, but not the one I had in mind. Mid-1950s. Color. Not a "posse", but a lynch mob. Not out in the boondocks, but right downtown.

Correct, stick. Also one of my favorites. Your thread.

Thanks, skipper. Man returns to the town that tried but failed to lynch him. Permanent rope burns on his neck.

next up: "In a world where carpenters are resurrected, Love, anything is possible."

Adjacent decades. TV. Two incidents with similar features and different "whodats?" : 1960s: Series with only two regulars all the way through. Couple of other names with asterisks as "occasional". Theme: Pursuit of an escaped convict. One regular on the run, and the other tracking him. While the series lasted, the actor in the support role was often accosted in public by irate fans who thought he should leave the star alone. Little old ladies with their umbrellas, etc. Whodat? 1970s: Similar plot of pursuit, in a series with only three regulars. An investigative reporter tracking leads that seemed to refer to the others. This actor lobbied for and got one episode of the series focused on his character, and his detective work, and the focus of the search seen several times -- but only at a distance. Whodat?

Xuncax, Enrique -- David Villalpando in *El Norte* (1983)

Solo -- Martin Benson in *Goldfinger* (1964)

Correct, Sixes. The miniseries did justice to the source nove. I figured the question would collapse when I clued in "Penny Wise the Clown" Sixes' thread.

Nardo -- nickname used by the other Sharks for Bernardo (George Chakiris) in *West Side Story*

School-age kids defeat a monster, but it turns out to be temporary. It comes back when they are adults, and they must confront it again. Only one has stayed in their home town. The others must gather from other parts of the world. One of them, learning of the call to return, commits suicide.

Thanks, Sixes, but I've got to keep looking. The "age" quote could have been Betty White; it's more contemporary than Burns, I think. But a scroll-through of both Bio sites yielded nothing. But thanks.

*The Apple Dumpling Gang* (1975), a comedy Western with kids and cute sloshing all over the screen. Don Knots and Tim Conway need a ladder in order to break into a bank. They try to steal one from the firehouse. Wordless scene, makes a good tribute to Stan & Ollie. It's a volunteer fire dept, and the only fireman on the site is dead asleep. The ladder they select is too long to get through the path outside, so there a few false starts getting set up to get it right. They have an audience, an adorable little mutt, on the foot of the fireman's bunk, tail awaggin', and watching every move. i saw it only after it got to TV, and I was howling with laughter. Good scene. handled by two guys who had mastered their comedy-timing chops years earlier.

Yo, Sunny75, your thread.

WAG: *The Paradine Case* ??

Time of release? There's a 1999 movie set and filmed in Ireland that fits all clues so far.

*The Great Man Votes* ???

This not a challenge thread. It's for comments where the poster is not sure of the source, and is asking for that info. I have two of them at the moment: *1.* Read recently, jotted it down, did not write down the name of the speaker. Who said this? "When you get to my age you get a lot of "Lifetime Achievement Awards". I'm getting about two every week. There ought to be a Survivor Award. I nominate myself." *2.* Read a few years ago, do not remember the name of the writer. Brought to mind by a recent obit: "Any nation that thinks Andy Rooney is a curmudgeon can not really handle a lot of stress." Any info on the sources of these quotes

*Yo, Stick,* Want to referee here? It's possible both of these are right.

Jenkins, Carl -- Neil Patrick Harris in *Starship Troopers* (1997)
