  1. Miles, what an encyclopedia of knowledge you are. I'm a big Rosemary Clooney fan and knew that she intensely disliked the recording "Come On-a My House" and never dreamed it would become the big hit that it did, but was committed under her contract to record the song. I never knew about William Saroyan's co-writing of the song, so when I knew that the song was "Come On-a My House" recorded by Rosie, I had to google the background to get the playwright co-writer William Saroyan.

     

    I truly love this because I'm learning so much from people who know so much and I'm having a terrific time.

     

    I'm keeping this thread open.

  2. Marsha, we never got an answer to your last question,

    Terrence, sorry for the mix-up on this question. There was a duplication, so it was decided to make the thread an open one in Catchall and the question is now only under "Trivia Game". So, if you wish to post a new thread here, please do so.  Please go to "Trivia Game" if you wish to continue with the last question originally posted here. Again, sorry for the mix-up.

  3. Excellent! I figured this would be a more challenging category...but you have made it seem easy! :)

    One thing I like about ROYAL WEDDING is that for a change, Fred Astaire is not involved with a much younger gal (in this case, Jane Powell). It was smarter to make them siblings and have them romantically involved with other people.

     

    Dvorak and Muni are great to watch in the original SCARFACE. I like MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA, though I know it is usually panned by critics.

    You're so right this is a more challenging category. There are quite a few movies where the story line features sisters and brothers, but you really have to "rack your brain" to come up with brothers and sisters who are the leads in movies. This is a terrific category because it is so challenging.  I agree with your comments about all three films, especially the original Scarface starring Muni and Dvorak, which although it concentrates on the rise and fall of a mobster, the scenes between Muni and Dvorak are so intense sexually they're way ahead of their time. Howard Hawks direction is superb and I'm not surprised to see that Howard Hughes was the producer of the film. I try not to miss it whenever it's on.
