  1. I think I finally figured it out.  Is it The Apartment?  When Jack Lemmon sits down in front of the television to eat his TV dinner, the announcer says that Grand Hotel is coming on.  Then later he has tickets to The Music Man.  Also ack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine made one other film together - Irma La Douce.

    Star - You've got it all. "The Apartment" is one of my all-time favorite movies. I've watched it too many times to keep count. And each time the last line gets me......C.C. "Bud" Baxter to Fran Kubelik: "Miss Kubelik, I absolutely adore you." Fran Kubelik to Mr. Baxter: "Shut up and deal." Thank you Billy Wilder. And thank you, Star.

     

    It's your turn.

  2. Marsha, I'm going to guess "Dangerous When Wet" with Barbara Whiting, sister of Margaret, and daughter of Richard.

    Terrence, You're correct with Barbara Whiting, Margaret Whiting and Richard A. Whiting.  However, the film I have in mind is from the middle forties.  One particular song was recorded by Frank Sinatra. The composer and the lyricist are world famous and wrote the musical score, book and lyrics for a groundbreaking musical from the 1920's.

  4. TopBilled, you're right. Holmes fakes his death in Scotland and then returns to England to investigate a string of apparent suicides which he believes are being committed by a female "Moriarity" (Gale Sondergaard). He dons the disguise of "Ragni Singh" in order to capture the culprit. However, as far as I can recall we actually do not see him faking his death only that he returns to London to solve the crimes. This Rathbone Holmes film incorporated various elements from Conan Doyle's novel "The Sign of the Four" and short stories "The Final Problem" and "The Adventure of the Empty House". However, it is in modern day not during the 1800's as were the original Holmes stories.

    The Jeremy Brett series of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes broadcast by Granada TV are absolutely excellent and worth re-watching (if you have not seen them). Brett is the epitomy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation. In series such as this the British truly excel.

  5. Isn't there a Rathbone entry as Sherlock, where he stages his death to bring a killer out of hiding? Maybe I'm imagining it. But I thought THE SPIDER WOMAN, with Gale Sondergaard, had this plot twist. But what I found on wiki doesn't seem to indicate this as happening.

  6. Thanks, Miles

     

    This musical film has a cast of actors none of which are known as singers. However, one of the cast members is the younger sister of a very famous female singer of popular songs and the daughter of one of the great composers of popular songs.

     

    Name the movie, name the younger sister, name the older sister who is the famous singer of popular songs, and name their great composer father.

  8. It is! It is Topper! Thank you, Marsha!

     

    Your thread

    :)

    Thanks, Kid

     

    This film is the first R rated movie to with the Academy Award for Best Picture after the MPAA film rating system was introduced?

  9. Thank you.  If you watched my second video clip, Rosemary tells that story.

     

    Now, two contemporaries of Rosemary Clooney, a man and  a woman, were very popular singers in the fifties.  They acted together in a movie, which was the first movie for the man and the only movie for the woman.  As you can imagine, it was a musical.  Can you name the two singers, as well as the movie that they appeared in together?

    Are the two singers Guy Mitchell and Teresa Brewer in the movie "Those Redheads From Seattle"?

  10. Thanks. That's another one not shown very often, but it is still shown once in a blue moon. I taped it a few years ago.

     

    An old woman flashbacks on her life, remembering all the children she took care of years before

    Is it "Good Morning, Miss Dove."?
