Rob and Chad Lowe? Moe and Larry Fine? :^0

Dick and Jerry Van Dyke?

John and Tim Considine ??

Thanks, Sixes. Mid-1960s. B&W. Ex-con returns to his hometown. Notifies his wife, who brings their daughter and joins him.

#8. The TV & Movie Studio has a name that makes it seem to be a family enterprise.

(22,296) The actor in the lead role eventually became Gil Grissom.

Some others come to mind. *The Unforgiven* (1960), directed by John Huston, not to be confused with Clint Eastwood's 1990s movie with a similar title. Filmed in the area around Durango, Mexico. Desert vistas, distant mountains, good use of low-angle shots to show off the pale blue, cloud-dappled sky. *The Law and Jake Wade* (1958) In California Lone Pine area. Made use of an existing Gold Rush ghost town. Very impressive mountain scenery, well-used. ...and there's always *Jeremiah Johnson*, filmed mostly in a State Park in Utah. 'nuf said.

*Fanny and Alexander* (1982) ???

*136* "I love shopping day at the Farmers' Market!"

Correct. Will to Ado Annie. Your thread, stick.

*135* "Yeah, yeah, yeah! I saw *Little Miss Marker* too. But do you really expect Big Paulie to go along with this?"

At about 110 Views, and a minute apart, 2 posters answered correctly. The conversation in the long tracking shot at the opening was about the long tracking shot that opened 1958's *Touch of Evil.* FPangborn's thread.

#7. One supporting actor has a future as star of a couple of long-running series on TV. One a 30 min comedy, the other a 60 min drama.

Need another name? Okay, uh, Dennis Farina.

Okay, let's get this back to Page 1. "Now that you're engaged to me, you gotta stop havin' fun!" ???

(15,541) Oh, yeah, some plot. A studio bigwig is being blackmailed with evidence that he committed a homicide. Anonymous contact indicates that the villain is a writer whose script was rejected. But he has rejected a lot of scripts.

Up and down in just short of 24 hours. Do you read the Vanity Cards, too? ?:| thestick's thread.

♫ And those three that I miss most -- The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost, ♪ Why, they took the last train for the Coast, The day the MUsic diiiiied! ♫

Whiplash Willie -- sneering nickname applied by some to Willie Gingrich (Walter Matthau) in *The Fortune Cookie*

Uh, okay. Who said wrote this? "Never forget that taking a bow and ducking are essentially the same thing." ???

(Lt. Cmdr) Uhura -- Nichelle Nichols in *Star Trek The Motion Picture* (1979)

#6. The source novel has the trial and its headliners dividing their party so badly that they blow their chance to take over the State House. The incumbant Governor, an earnest plodder with more good standards than crowd appeal, gets another term to advance and improve some good work already started. This version of the story does not end that way.

NOW THREAD OPEN

cujas, this one is intriguing, but it has me stumped. I think you've planted a clue pointing toward *The Name of the Game*, but I spent those years in an environment where the TV was in the Common Room, and the sports fans usually carried the vote. For the same reason, I saw very little of *Slattery's People*. Someone else is going to have to solve this one.

The movie was remade under a different title. Those named are not the leads. Another support role was played by Tom Noonan.
