Lordamercy, do I ever! Thanks, Edythe. Your thread.

At 317 Views, correct re *The French Lieutenant's Woman.* Meryl Streep (multiple Oscars) functioned well as a 19th Century woman, knowing her place in the conditions that existed there and then. Jeremy Irons (currently in his third season starring in a prestigious Premium Channel series) did equally well in each place-and-time setting. The whole cast did. mr6666's thread.

The setting, and film site, is Buenos Aires. The guy who had to take a roommate because of his mother's expenses. -- He romanced Bridget Jones as "Mark Darcy". More recently, he overcame a vocal impediment problem in time to make an important radio speech. The deadly subletter. -- As "Harry Ellis", he helped menace a lone hero, Bruce Willis, in that thriller about a deadly siege in a skyscraper.

No, but thanks for responding, Edythe. Dennis Day popularized the song when he was a regular on Jack Benny's show. Mr. Day also starred in the episode Cheap is Cheap, aired 5 May 1950, on *A. Hitch Presents.* Unexpected casting, and I got a kick out of it. It replayed recently on MeTV, and I enjoyed the revisit. Open thread.

Honestly? Nobody knows who had a hit single with "Clancy Lowered the Boom" ??

*Stagecoach* (1939) Watered whiskey

Movie within movie. In the 19th Century, an upper-crust British man loses his social status and suffers socially because he became fascinated by a "fallen" woman. Ruined his prospects for a Society marrage. Circa the 1980s, a cast and crew are making a movie about the 1800s story, and the two leads develop a relationship of their own. Comparable complications in each storyline -- stemming from the contemporary social pressures.

> {quote:title=SWfan wrote:}{quote}is Royal Wedding applicable? Hmmm. I believe the word "wedding" is a noun in that context.

*Kissing a Fool* *Kissing Jessica Stein*

Correct, Edythe. It's my impression that this role as John Wesley Hardin was Rock Hudson's first starring role. Edythe's thread.

Okay, at over 350 Views, a Role Call "Jordan 'Bick' Benedict" and "Kay Lawrence" portrayed the couple at the center of this story.

> {quote:title=lavenderblue19 wrote: flash? > > > }{quote}| Uh, yes, is there a question? I'm away from the Boards for a while, but I will be back.

Correct, skipper. The rifleman in that scene was Robert Wilke (sometimes billed as Robert J. Wilke), who, as mentioned, put in a lot of time getting snuffed by some A-List names (James Stewart, James Coburn, Grace Kelly, and the like). skipper's thread.

Was she also known as "the singing rage, Miss Patti Page"? That's the name I connect with that song. ??

...a variation, with very limited opportunities: Two declaritive titles cited together. (1) Each side must be a complete declaritive. (There must be a connecting word; no additions. (3) The verbs in each side of the combined title must be in the same tense. *They Still Call Me Bruce, But I'm A Cheerleader.* *A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square, And The Band Played On.* As mentioned, this is a limited variation.

One subset: Consult any title starting with THEY, I, or WE... *They All Kissed the Bride* *We Were Soldiers* *We Own the Night* *I Spit on Your Grave* *It All Came True*

*We All Loved Each Other So Much* *They Made Me A Criminal* *We Bought A Zoo* *I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang* *They All Laughed*

It helps to look for titles that start with pronouns or proper names. *I Know Where I'm Going.* *I Like It Like That* *I Like Money* *It Came From Outer Space* *I Know What You Did Last Summer* *Your Three Minutes Are Up* *Your Ticket Is No Longer Valid* *You've Got Mail* There are some around

*Round 21: Declaritives.* Each title should be a gramatically complete declarative (statement of fact) sentence, complete with Subject, Verb, and modifiers when indicated. Examples: *I Never Sang for My Father.* *Quaxer Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx.* *Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You In the Closet And I'm Feeling So Sad.* *I Remember Mama.* etc, etc.

Because of the original roommate's business, this film is especially rich in references to other movies. The scene with the *Ten Commandments* poster has already been mentioned. There is also a poster of *GWTW.* In the "name the cast / name the movie" game, the winner is able to name *Catch-22* because one of those named -- Art Garfunkle -- made so few movies. The point about the man pretending not to understand the local language occasions a mention of *Hangmen Also Die*. There is a conversational reference to *The Godfather*. The revival theater runs a Hitchcock Festival, and several titles are mentioned.
