  1. In response to mistervegan's question:

     

    "and who was that ronald sinclair bloke?  he played a poor boy's freddie bartholomew."

     

    Freddie Bartholomew was originally supposed to be in Thoroughbreds Don't Cry, but his Aunt Cissy, who was his legal guardian, withdrew him from the production because of a contract dispute.  MGM replaced him with New Zealand child actor Ronald Sinclair.  Interestingly, there is a trailer clip for Thoroughbreds Don't Cry that TCM sometimes shows which features Freddie Bartholomew introducing Ronald Sinclair to American audiences.

     

  2. obrienmundy, I hope you don't mind, but since I am 100% certain that the answer to your user review is Theodora Goes Wild, I am going to forge ahead with another user review.

     

    This is the kind of family comedy rampant in the '40s and '50s--but what seemed mighty funny back then doesn't have quite the same punch today. In other words, all the material is slightly dated and the genuine laughs are few and far between.

    Nevertheless, it's one of (the star's) most appealing performances as a teen-ager and she seems to be enjoying herself immensely. She has good support from ___________, as an awkward neighborhood boy, and ___________ as her exasperated father and _____________ as his patient wife. I believe (the star) had already played this character on radio and certainly had an affinity for this sort of role.

     

  3. An affectation that was usually attributed to Fred Astaire alone was the wearing of a tie instead of a belt around his waist.  However this fashion statement did not originate with him.  He actually copied it from another male star who was a friend of his.  Name the star.
