*245* Lou had always wanted to hug a policeman, but was too shy to do so until his pal Bud gave him a shove.

A little while ago my co-worker told me he went to a Yes concert last night. Sheepisly he (in his 60s) said that he couldn't really remember their songs. (He went with his wife, who wanted to rock out.) He left a while ago but my officemate and I are sitting here still humming their 70s hits. Here's one of their biggest. "Roundabout":

*244* "Jerry, please!! I know you're hungry - once and for all, get off this crazy diet and go have yourself a steak!"

Hi johnnysain, I couldn't figure it out, but I would try posting this same question in the "Information Please" forum of this board also. You may get an answer from someone who knows a lot about movies, but who may not participate in the Trivia forum. Good luck!

*What bothers me is, when modern trends in human behavior seem to serve no purpose other than break down common civility and courtesy.* Sepiatone, I am noticing this myself more and more. And it's not only "young people", it's older people, too. I don't know how many times I've met a stranger's eyes, smiled, getting a cold stare in return, or other times when I've said, "excuse me" for something (like getting out of someone's way), and getting absolutely nothing in response; the person just walks on. I'm probably being oversensitive, but I think it's rude. (I'm sure there are other examples to back up your statement but I can't think of them now.) *Our family now is suffering a breaking apart ironically due to "social media". Too many people I know get on FACEBOOK and write anything they want about anybody thinking it's their RIGHT to do so, and seem to think there should be no consequence.* This happened to friends of mine. My friend's son was having problems in his new marriage, and the rancor got so bad that relatives on both sides were childishly duking it out on Facebook. The couple are now divorced. *People get together in space only. Once there, they are so involved in their handhelds to take much notice of what's going on around them.* I have an ironic but true story. I was standing at a window looking at the beautiful day outside, the nature, etc. A young man was standing next to me, I guess waiting for something, so into his handheld he was oblivious to what I saw.

YAAAY!!! A lollipop for the Kid! Okay, slugger, your turn.

*I also understand the POV expressed by someone else here that most of the time it is very old people complaining about the younger generation. e.g. old hippies are now complaining about young punks.* Interestingly enough, a few months back I was in among a group of college students in their 20s and I asked them what their impression was of their own generation. I had my own criticisms but I wanted to hear from them. I was surprised when a few of them (not all) shook their heads and complained that generally, they found their peers inconsiderate and shallow, always buried in their handheld devices, more concerned about their own self-interests than the world around them. I try to keep in mind that no era or generation is "perfect", but when I read about the barrage of gun shootings, the glorifying of bad behavior on 'reality' shows, and on and on and on, it makes me want to move to Mars.

Hm, no takers. Okay, below is the same question, with new information posted in bold type: In this film, in one segment, a man is in mortal fear of being attacked by a spider. *When he's not fighting a spider, he is running like heck away from his cat. He has to hide in a dollhouse to get away from it.* His co-star was not a well-known movie name, but she did end up co-starring in a few episodes of a long-running television series in its later years. *She was the wife of a man who was part of a two-man cop team and appeared in the color episodes of this series.* Name the movie, the co-star's name, and the TV show she co-starred on.

More hints: The movie was made before 1960 and the TV show episodes the person co-starred on was from the late 1960s.

Sorry, Kid, no on both. Hints: the spider reference was just one scene in the whole film, and the TV show was an old-time crime drama.

Thanks, Lav. ] Re-posting my new question: In this film, in one segment, a man is in mortal fear of being attacked by a spider. His co-star was not a well-known movie name, but she did end up co-starring in a few episodes of a long-running television series in its later years. Name the movie, the co-star's name, and the TV show she co-starred on.

Okay, I thought of one... In this film, a man is in mortal fear of being attacked by a spider. His co-star was not a well-known movie name, but she did end up co-starring in a few episodes of a long-running television series in its later years. Name the movie, the co-star's name, and the TV show she co-starred on.

Thank you for thinking up questions that I can answer, LOL. Back soon...

I remember this quote. Was it Edmund Gwenn and "Miracle on 34th Street?" I don't know who directed it (I don't want to cheat).

*242* "Hi, is this Bernice Klingendorfer? From Irvington High School? Yeah, this is Jerry Lewis, the guy you turned down for a date to the prom..."

*242* "Yes, Mommy, I know I'm late. Yes, yes I'll be there for my piano lesson. G'bye, Mommy."

LOL!!!

I loved reading your story, Dothery. My dad was born the same year as you and Shirley Temple and I wish I could talk to him (and my mom) today to ask them about their own moviegoing experiences in the 1940s and 50s. As for getting old, I have nothing to add, really, from what I posted a long time back. I'm not yet "old", per se, but lately I'm noticing more and more the gray hairs coming in.... Not enough to make me reach for the Clairol, but enough to make me understand Mother Nature's way of saying, "It's been a long time since you played hopscotch, kid!"

*241* "When I said, 'Let's play a game', I didn't mean build a house out of cards."

Looks like a young Anthony Hopkins...
