The WHOLE cast of The Guns of Navarone, ya say hep?! (...and here I thought Anthony Quinn was the only one playin' a Greek guy in that one!!!)

Okay...okay. I think I'm settled-down enough now.... The first one that comes to my mind is the movie where ya have Newman and Redford runnin' from those Pinkerton men out West. I mean, here ya have Katharine Ross parkin' her lovely behind on the handlebars of that bicycle while Newman is pedalin' away(and to those strains of "everybody's favorite" Academy Award winning song!!! LOL), and yet I always got the feelin' that Butch would've rather had Sundance sittin' on these handlebars! (...though I know I'm not the first person to have ever mentioned this)

Yeah, here's MY thought here, TB... I can't WAIT 'til "riverrock" sees THIS thread o' yours here!!! LOL That guy IS still around here somewhere, isn't HE?! LOL...some more! (...tell ya what...as soon at I stop doin' a Red Skelton here and laughin' at my own joke, I'll try to think of another example of your premise and post it)

LOL Well, ya know, come to THINK of it Tom, he kind'a sort'a DID look like that! (...but he was wearin' an Arizona Diamondback baseball cap and NOT a gold sombrero!)

Oh, okay. That makes sense here, I suppose. I might feel the same way about him right now TOO, but I missed catching THE FURIES last night. (...though I actually think I DID "catch" somethin' ELSE last night after my meal at that Mexican restaurant!!!)

Thanks, lavender! I've got one goin' in the "Retro Trivia" thread right now and which could also well fit into this thread's topic heading. Any guesses on that one yet? And so, I'll pass my turn in this one for the moment.

Yep, AND Bruce's traipsing across the sand dunes of the "Saraha"(okay, actually across the sand dunes of California's Imperial Valley) also showed real fortitude here, too. Though yeah, both Wendell and Bruce were always solid as that "decent sort'a guy". And in fact, in Wendell's case, Bob Mitchum even comes right out and mentions this whole "decent guy" thing about him in "Holiday Affair", doesn't he?! And so, why all the love for Bruce and yet none for Wendell here, huh Tom?! (...and btw, nope...goin' through Bruce's filmography just now, I didn't find him in any of Missy's movies)

"Father Knows Best"...Greer Garson.

LOL Hey now, Tom! Let's remember here that the movies NEED guys like Wendell and ah, say, Bruce Bennett. (...'cause their mere presence in a flick always makes the male lead seem even MORE interesting by comparison!)

Okay, then here goes... The previously mentioned "Sea Hunt" and another two television series from the past share a certain commonality(and no, not anything to do with scuba diving), and of which starred an actor who would go on to win an Oscar years later. Name the commonality, the two series, and the actor in question here.

Well, as you probably know James, Boyle could do some great impressions back in the day. His and John Belushi's SNL "Dueling Brandos" skit is still one of the highlights of that show's long run. Unfortunately, the only thing I could find on the Net is the audio portion of that skit on YouTube...

Tom Tully who was one of the actors that played Rob's dad, and Warner Anderson who acted in and narrated TV's "Peyton Place", and who both starred in the 1954-60 television crime drama, "The Lineup".

Greer Garson and William Powell.

Tom, your latest tribute to Jimmy and spotlighting his affability was once again superbly expressed. I don't remember if anyone in any of the Garner threads ever posted the following old "What My Line?" appearance of his as the mystery guest, but I think it well shows this aspect of his personally... (...starts at the 14:22 minute mark) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_3Q37kVY4I

Yes, that WILL probably be a minority opinion here, face. However, while I know what you're driving at here, consider the issue that Jack's characters are often supposed to be "irritating". Take for instance one his more notable roles as the "irritating" Felix Ungar in THE ODD COUPLE, or maybe his role as the irritating landlord and would-be Cananova in UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE, just to name a few. You WILL have to admit(or I at least hope you will anyway) that his turn as C.C.Baxter in THE APARTMENT is perfectly played and that he portrays this character in a much more toned-down fashion and thus is far less "irritating", and basically because we're supposed to root for his character in this one. (...though yeah, THE APARTMENT is more a seriocomedy than a "wacky" comedy, and thus would require him to tone it down a notch)

Hmmm...interesting, hep. Ya see, I always thought little Kristen's one and ONLY facial expression was that thing she does where she looks like she's just smelled something especially odious! And say what ya want about Ronnie's acting(or lack there of), I don't think THAT one was ever in his repertoire! (...well, except for maybe that time where he gives Bonzo a bath before bedtime)

Yep Lavender. I'll definitely agree with: B- Franchot Tone C- Gary Cooper E-Charlton Heston But, while I agree that D probably is Susan Hayward, I think it could also possibly be Ingrid Bergman. And, I'm PRETTY sure F is that luscious Italian beauty that Tom would like to send some time with after jumpin' into GeneralRipper's little time machine...one Sophia Loren. And G kind'a sort'a does look like Rock, but that's a maybe for me too here.

Hmmmm...no response, huh TB?! Well, I guess that must mean I'm back on "ignore", huh?! (...well, either THAT or this post of mine was just "too immature" to respond to, HUH?!) LOL

Sorry Ham, but while maybe those two spooky lookin' old guys might remind you of each other because, well, they're both "spooky lookin' old guys", I'm not seein' Keir Dullea's face at all in that "Tall Man" guy here. Nope, 'cause I see a combination of Robert Duvall's and Rip Torn's faces here instead....

Well, the only reason I didn't was 'cause this here keyboard o' mine doesn't have any o' those funny lookin' letters on it like that! (...uh-huh...yep...that's the ONLY reason I didn't, "alright"!!!)

Yeah, well, as you probably know, a certain shrewd and slightly paranoid dude who sported a ski-nose started HIS career by gettin' enough people to think that not ONLY should she not be "obeyed", but that people should cast their votes for him instead! (...but hey dude...where's my props for that "The Americanization of Emily" analogy here, HUH?!)

So Swithin, would I be right in assumin' here that if we could've gotten James Garner, Julie Andrews, Melvin Douglas and James Coburn all in a toga, they could've ALSO done justice to THIS story TOO???

Well, I'm certainly glad THAT'S finally been established! (...though somethin's tellin' me here that a certain obnoxious ultra-rich blowhard with a bad comb-over might STILL disagree with ya here, TB!)

Nope! The ban was lifted right after Memphis city father Homer Whipdoddle awoke one morning to find the head of his beloved Tennessee Walker next to him in bed and along with a note containing a message about "the benefits of keeping an open mind" signed by Jack Warner.
