3) The third star of the movie was Gary Merrill.
-
Is Peter Graves the man who hosted Biography on A&E back in the day? He had a great voice. I didn't realize that he and James Arness were related.
Peter took his stage name from his maternal grandmother.
-
Yes, DJ.
I am counting on people in the games and trivia forum to read all threads because I don't think people will get the clue otherwise.
-
Another hint:
The actor who was learning to ride a horse would be named one of AFI's male movie star legends.
-
1) THE FROGMEN is a war movie starring Richard Widmark and Dana Andrews.
-
That's right DJ.
Long time Hitch collaborator B.H. appeared as himself at Albert Hall (or wherever it was actually filmed it was meant to be Albert Hall).
Your thread, D.J.

Relaxing on semester break and watched The Purchase Price and My Reputation, both with Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent. The Purchase Price was a great piece of pre-code work by William Wellman, at some points not very credible, but great fun. I was surprised at how young Babs looked in that one, hardly a hardened gangster's moll. She aged more gracefully than her co-star George Brent, as in My Reputation, she still looks quite young, while George looks distinctly middle-aged, too old to be the serviceman he's playing. I liked My Reputation more than I expected to. The movie had some good points on how restricted women were by society; just because the main character is a widow, apparently, she's supposed to wear black for the rest of her life and never look at another man.
I've recorded some of the films today which I have not seen. TCM has another birthday being celebrated today on their site as it was George Brent's birthday as well as Jerry Lewis.
I've seen both these movies before and they were a great screen team.

Next movie:
THE FROGMEN

Next question/clue:
This one should be easy. SHOULD be:
Who portrayed himself in a Hitchcock movie and in what film?
-
OK, your thread.
This was the first time a movie had shown a toilet being flushed. And the screenwriter thought this was necessary to show realism in the movie.
I thought you were referring to the importance of the plot.
-
7) There is an off-topic thread on the TCM forums devoted to George Brent.
-
5) George Brent got into too real a fight against his rival for Stanwyck in The Purchase Price. His co-star hit his head against a nail, bled, and needed to go to the hospital.
-
Hint: It stars Richard Widmark.
-
3) George Brent was a frequent co-star of Barbara Stanwyck.
-
The piece of paper she flushed down the toilet had figures of money on it that involved money she had stolen but wanted to return.
-
Sorry
Next:
Fudge

9) Goldfinger puts everyone to sleep so that he can try to steal all the gold from Fort Knox.
-
Strangers on a Train
-
I believe this Psycho and the reason why was that Janet Leigh's character was trying to get rid of evidence of who she was at the Bates Motel?
-
Hint;
The movie studio was Columbia.
-
I knew Russell knew him well, but I did not know she was alive at the time because I only saw The Aviator for the first time last year. It was a fascinating look at a man I wanted to understand. I am amazed he survived the airplane crash.
Thanks.
Here is my question:
There was a western made in the early part of a man's career in which his character did not know how to ride a horse. The actor did not know how to ride a horse. The movie was therefore filmed in chronological order to save time and give a realistic sense of learning to ride horses that throw you off. The star of the film was well known to western fans already. This is from the studio system era.
NAME THE MOVIE, THE STAR OF THE FILM AND THE ACTOR WHO WAS JUST STARTING HIS CAREER WHO COULD NOT RIDE A HORSE AND LATER BEECAME A HUGE MOVIE STAR.

...and as long as we're comparing "Words" by the Bee Gees to "Words" by the Monkees, we might as well add "Words" by Missing Persons to the comparison.
I am not familiar with this group. From what era are they?
-
There was only one Monkees album I never owned.
I did not know I was missing any until I got the Greatest hits album and realized that I did not have any other album but that one that had "Listen to the Band" on it.

SPLENDOR is a film I thought that I might be the only one to see it.
This is a pre-code movie that stars Miriam Hopkins and Joel McCrea.
McCrea has married Hopkins before we meet them. She is poor. His family has had high hopes for him to marry rich because they have a huge debt-load and big house and none of them ARE WILLING TO WORK.
David Niven is Joel's brother who has big gambling debts.
The family is horrified.
Hopkins is desired by a man with lots of money who can give the family money if she is willing to be his mistress including giving McCrea a job that pays well.
McCrea must not know.
The mother-in-law wants Hopkins to agree.

Since TCM aired Splendor not that long ago, they will likely air it again.
As for the leading man and lady, Joel McCrea and Miriam Hopkins made about 7 movies together, and the ones I have seen are all thanks to TCM in the last six months.
