  1. Oops; forgot about this one....BTW, Sixes, I have a history with the movie you clued up. I used Foxes of Harrow , oh, maybe 3 years ago, on a thread that isn't around any more. "10 clues for movie" or something like that. I got into several clues, and the player that answered it did so on the basis of having read the Frank Yerby novel, not on having seen the movie. And I think it was answered by "The Lady Eve", who has since become a Morlock. Anyway, next title.

     

    1950s. Color. Railroad building. Good brother and a badun, opposite sides of the Law.

  2. "Sheriff, how did you ever get the name of Honest John?"

     

    "At the time of which I speak, I'm tending bar up in Medicine Hat. Guy used to come in, had a glass eye. I used to wait on him. Wasn't a bad guy...He'd take the glass eye out and put it in a tumbler of water...Comes in one time, and forgets the glass eye..."

     

    "So tell me, how did you get the name Honest John?"

     

    "One day he forgot his glass eye. I found it. Next day he comes in, I says 'Young man, here's your eye.' Ever since that day, I've been known as Honest John."

     

    ...A W.C. Fields routine in Six Of A Kind (1934)

    ...essentially a monologue, stretched out to over four minutes by comic business at a pool table
