2.) Ben Hecht wrote the screenplay for this film.

Thanks, Tom. I forgot all about "The Scarlet Pumpernickel". I haven't seen that one in a long time.

You're welcome, Tom. Yes, Bugs was rarely the loser in any of his cartoons. The only other time that I can think of is in "Rabbit Rampage". In this cartoon, an animator uses his paintbrush as a weapon against Bugs. He torments him by drawing him incorrectly and by doing all sorts of crazy things to him. Elmer Fudd finally got his revenge!

Well done, Marsha! You got them all correct. The thread's all yours.

Yes, that's correct. Well done, Lawrence. Leo McCarey is one of only 8 directors to have won an Oscar for Best Director, Best Picture and Best Screenplay/Story. He was the first of the 8 to do so. Your turn, Lawrence.

Good job, GregoryPeckfan! I really enjoy this movie as well. Your turn.

Thanks, Dr. Lawrence. Next: After graduating from law school, this man briefly worked as a criminal defense attorney. He also tried his hand at mining, boxing and songwriting. He later found work in Hollywood as an assistant director, a gagman and screenwriter. In 1921, he directed his first film. He went on to direct many short films throughout the 1920s. Starting in the 1930s, he found great success directing feature films. He worked with several major stars, including the Marx Brothers, Mae West, Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper and many others. He also continued to work as a screenwriter. He won the Oscar for Best Director twice. He also won an Oscar for Best Story. Please name the director, the 2 films for which he won the Oscar for Best Director and the film for which he won the Oscar for Best Story. Feel free to name your favorite film(s) directed by this man.

Thanks, Miles. Next: The score for this late-1940s adventure film was apparently very popular. So popular, in fact, that parts of it were stolen used in two adventure films in the 1980s. In one of the 1980s films, a portion of the original 1940s film score was used in a couple of scenes. In the other 1980s film, the music was adapted. Please name the 1940s film, the composer of the film's score and the two 1980s films.

I think it's Henry King. He was nominated for Best Director for Song of Bernadette (1943) and Wilson 1944). He is also known for directing several other well-known films, such as Love is a Many Splendored Thing, The Sun Also Rises, Carousel, Lloyd's of London and The White Sister (1923).

I think it's one of my favorite Irving Berlin songs -- "Mandy". Harriet Nelson singing the song with Ricky's band: Vera-Ellen (with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) in White Christmas:

That's right! I forgot all about that. I love that scene.
