I agree about Ravel. Bernstein's music for 'The Magnificent Seven' always reminded me of Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures At An Exhibition', if only in style and power, the influence is apparent.
The CD of Elmer Bernstein conducting The Scottish National Orchestra playing the full Orchestral arrangement of the 'Magnificent Seven' music is truly excellent. Go buy it, and play it with the sound cranked all the way up, and tell me I'm wrong.

Dear YoungMissI4Classics,
If only you understood what you were asking. Most of the people on these boards are many years older than you, and sadder and wiser as well.
I hope that 'Joe' from 'Little Women' continues to be your inspiration and your 'story' for the rest of your life.
Good luck and God bless.

You got it
A supplimental question - At the end of 'Ice-Cold in Alex', what brand of beer were they drinking. It's said by many, including me, to be the best beer in the world.

Here's an easy one -
Who directed the movie 'Ants In Your Pants' ?

The Wrong Box
Peter Cook - Bedazzled
Dudley Moore - Arthur
Tutte Lemkow - Fiddler On The Roof
Sir Ralph Richardson - Time Bandits
Michael Caine - Without A Clue
Nanette Newman - International Velvet
I've seen all these movies except 'The Wrong Box', so it took me a while to figure out who the 'high' violinist was.

Dear LuckyDan
The link is to Photobucket, a very reputable Website, and the target is a jpeg I placed there myself. If you're plagued with viruses get Norton Anti-Virus.
You should not be surfing the internet without some sort of anti-virus protection. Doing so is like......er......well, y'know......without protection !

The three films refered to in the puzzle have all been shown on TCM at least once. The main film featuring all the actors has never been shown on TCM (as far as I can recall), but should be.
Have a beer while you're thinking about it.

Yes, it was a tough one. I went on a few wild goose chases myself. The key to solving this, for me, was Murray Melvin, an actor I'm familiar with because he's in two of my top favorite movies.

I'm not sure about the first. This was a very labor intensive post.

I would say that most of the people on these boards are older than you by a considerable number of years. I'm older than you by a factor of 3.85.
People who can still see without glasses, have all their own teeth, and still have hair that isn't the color of wet cement are always welcome. This isn't a retirement home you know.

My local Public Television station has (or had), a weekly show called 'Moonlight Theater', showing mostly old or 'Classic' movies.
A few years ago they showed the Hitchcock movie 'Frenzy'. Imagine my surprise (shock), when the rape scene (fairly graphic and very nasty) arrived, and I realised that this was the original 'R' rated, unedited, theatrical version. I nearly choked on my popcorn.
I thought that this may be the start of a courageous new trend by PBS to show original, unedited movies. I was wrong, they had simply gotten hold of the wrong version.

Sorry. I honestly thought it was a reference to Thomas Moore.

I don't think It was as bad as some of you suggest. It has a lot of good points, and I'm not just talking about Janet Leigh's pointy boobs, although they were certainly worth watching.
The movie was basically an Orson Welles experiment in 'Style' that did'nt totally pay off. I don't think Welles was entirely satisfied with the result. The dialog was excellent and Welles own performance was wonderfully creepy, and Charlton Heston and Janet leigh were also good. It's true some of the other performances were hammy beyond belief.
Dennis Weaver overplayed his role terribly as the motel clerk. Anthony Perkins did it better a year later in 'Psycho'. I wonder if Weaver ever realised what an opportunity he blew with this performance?
On the whole I liked it despite it's flaws.

Staying more or less in the same area, here's one to give you all a headache, I hope.

By the way. The only Samuel Bronfman I've heard of is the one who kept America afloat during prohibition.

'The Sand Pebbles' was set in 1926, 'The Last Emperor' covered a period from 1912 to 1925 (I think). The history of China in the first quarter of the 20th century, prior to the communist revolution is a bit dark and murky (to me). Both these movies show aspects of the period but no real historical background.
Jeez, now you've started me on another project.

Was it Larry Gates in 'The Sand Pebbles' ? My fave Steeve McQueen movie.

A guess
'The Time Machine'
Rod Taylor - 'Trader Horn'
Yvette Mimieux - 'The Black Hole'
The only hole in my theory is that the little green men were blue.
