Hint #2--Critics remarked that one of his unsuccessful films should have been called "The Tower of Babble" because there were so many different accents.

This would-be star got off to a good start, his first two movies being Oscar winning box--office hits. However, four of his next six films were notorious box-office/critical bombs, resulting in the termination of his contract, and his going overseas to continue his film career. Please name him, his studio, and at least two of the bombs he starred in.

lavenderblue19--Correct on all counts. In the film "Untamed", the heroines' name is Katie; in "Gone With the Wind", book and film, when Scarlett's father bawls her out, he uses her full name--Katie Scarlett O'Hara. "Untamed" was supposed to be a South African "Gone With the Wind".
Your thread, lavender.

"Monty Python's Life of Brian" (1979)--Scattershot satire on the Biblical epics of the 1950's, film starts off well with animated credits, then slows down as some jokes hit, some miss. Some of the best jokes are the most tasteless (also the ones I can't repeat here). Pontius Pilate ("I pawdon Wodewick!") makes a definite impression; the takeoffs on "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (1965) and the multiple jokes from "Ben-Hur"(1959) work well. Your enjoyment will depend on your tolerance for tastelessness--I enjoyed it.
Twenty cast members played seventy odd roles. Look for George Harrison. 3/4.

"You, here in South Africa, fighting Zulus?!? I can't believe it!!"
Name the film, year of release, the two stars, and what film it was modeled after (the name of the leading female character is a dead giveaway).

"Suddenly"?

speedracer5--A few more to catch:
Nov. 15th--"Land of the Pharaohs" (1955)--Decent spectacle worth catching for Joan Collins' bitchy Nellifer, a Great revenge ending, and assorted absurdities along the way (a character named Senta is repeatedly called Santa (he looks nothing like Santa Claus).
Nov. 18th--"Cash McCall" (1960)--James Garner & Natalie Wood pairing that's buried in the early morning (5:30 a.m. EST)
Nov. 19th--The three Harry Palmer spy films in the same evening ("The Ipcress File", "Funeral in Berlin, and "Billion Dollar Brain" (1965, 1966, & 1967, respectively): "Zabriskie Point" (1970) has a knockout finale, but the preceding 90 minutes is a Trial to sit through.
Nov. 21st--"The Great Morgan" (1946)--Oddity that was never released in the U.S. consists of outtakes from MGM musicals and short subjects.
Nov. 23rd--Marx Bros. day, at night "The Sea Around Us" (1953), based on Rachel Carson's book--a TCM Premiere??

"Ghidrah, The Three-Headed Monster" (1965)--Co-starring Mothra, Rodan, and Godzilla. Featuring hordes of Japanese actors who panic, scream, shout, and run about on cue. Vocal cameo by the same voice (all over Japan) telling people to evacuate their city, town, village, etc. in an orderly fashion because Ghidrah/Godzilla/Rodan is rampaging.
Delightfully stupid, dreadfully dubbed monster movie. When the monsters are offscreen, the actors recite dreadful dialogue. These gems are in the movies' first five minutes:
Perky girl reporter--"There's no such thing as brainwaves!"
Astronomer--"The saucer-men will tell us what to do!"
Plot idiocies also help. A girl opens an airplane door, jumps out without a parachute, and survives a fall of several thousand feet. A power station is knocked out, and the power goes out in one room--but is working in the adjoining room.
There is a love theme eighteen minutes in that has to be heard to be believed.
Finally, the special effects are howlingly funny. At one point, Godzilla and Rodan appear to be playing tennis. A Ken doll is killed in his toy car, and a toy ship is set afire by Godzilla's breath.
Wonderful Saturday nonsense. On the "So Bad It's Good" scale, 3.4/4.
