  1. George Burns, I like the way he sings. Next: May Robson or Jessie Ralph?
  2. Norma got slapped by Clark Gable in A Free Soul.
  3. Clark Gable's Hollywood "gang" included pal Ward Bond.
  4. Yes, it could be and it is! Star, you've earned a turn - -
  5. Raquel Next: Jerome Robbins or George Balanchine
  6. Oscar lent his acerbic wit to Gene Kelly's An American in Paris.
  7. Jake, Thanx for the lovely candid of Fred Astaire and his daughter Ava on the Champs Elysées in Paris. Maybe around the time he shot Funny Face there with Audrey Hepburn?
  8. Carroll Baker's best scenes in Harlow were with Peter Lawford who played Harlow's MGM executive husband.
  9. 3) Julie Christie was one of Warren Beatty's earlier girlfriends. They consummated their cinematic relationship in a movie called McCabe and Mrs Miller.
  10. Sam Fuller's movie Pickup on South Street features an unique performance by Thelma Ritter.
  11. Yes, Lawrence--Frank Tashlin, he didn't put much stock in what the French critics said about him, but since he directed all those Martin and Lewis and Jerry Lewis movies he must have started or helped to start this French mania with Jerry Lewis. I love his movie the Girl Can't Help It. Its a groundbreaking movie for rock and roll artists and the theme is a bloody good rock and roll song too. it's altogether a very funny movie. DJ you got the ball rolling with Howard Hawks; you get an honorable mention. And Lawrence, as the song says, two out of three ain't bad. It's all yours--
  12. The quote is from a beloved family biopic starring one of America's most famous movie comedians.
  13. John Gavin is married to actress Constance Towers.
  14. Yes, Lawrence-- Nicholas Ray was a director who was astonishing good, but who had a very limited output for various reasons. The Cahiers were very impressed with rebel without a cause starring James Dean and in a lonely place starring Humphrey Bogart. The third and last director mainly did comedy. He started out as a cartoonist with a major studio. His actors were Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope. One of his films was a groundbreaking movie for the teenage audience in the 1950s.
  15. Yes, DJ-- next to Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks was the Cahiers' favorite director. I really love the films that Hawks made with Cary Grant. Some of them are my favorite films of all time. But I wasn't aware that Hawks had such a long association in his career with John Wayne. That was interesting to me. Hint#4--The other two Directors are not as well known and are not as well established in the Golden Age of Hollywood. The other two directors were very well known and successful in the 1950s and early 60s. One was well known for comedy and the the other one was well known for psychological dramas. Both Directors had a teenage following at one time because both of them made groundbreaking movies for teenagers. DJ-- you got one director, you can go for the other two and so can anybody else. good luck
  16. Miles, I was a James Garner fanatic. I clocked out after he left. You have all the real information go for it--
  17. Hint#3 One of the directors is associated with rock and roll movies.
  18. So sorry, I forgot this one. It does kinda sound like something Groucho would say to Margaret Dumont. But the hint I'll give you is that it was said by a comedian who was just as famous as Groucho Marx in the movies.
  19. To be honest I got to say Nancy Davis but we'll just say Pat O'Brien because I want to know the truth behind angels with dirty faces. Next: Alan Ladd or Dana Andrews
