That's a happy face...or as close as I can get. That was a tough one.
I'm going to open up the thread to the next brave traveler. Too much on my plate right now and I don't want to bog down the game.
So, who's next?
-
"Hit the Road Jack" by Percy Mayfield; made famous by Ray Charles and featured in movies and tv shows.
a holiday song not about Christmas
-
"I Believe in You" by Frank Loesser in movie "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". Loesser wrote words and music.
"LSD LBJ/FBI CIA"
-
Frances Gifford was in "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes" with Sara Haden.

Ethel Barrymore was in Hitchcock's "The Paradine Case." She won an Oscar for "None but the Lonely Heart." She was married to stockbroker Russell Griswold Colt, son of Samuel Colt of the great gun manufacturing family.
Barrymore was "one of the outstanding actresses of American theatre in the 20th century" starring in Ibsen's "A Doll's House" and "Trelawney of the Wells." She was a hit on the London and Broadway stages. She made her stage debut in 1894.
The only thing is: she was nominated for 3 Oscars in supporting roles; won 1.
Can this be who you mean?

Marcar, I don't usually do this, but I've racked my brain and I'm just wondering if, by some chance, you made a typo and the "L" should be an "E." If that is the case, then I can come up with Pushover. Otherwise, I have nothing.
Yes, thank you. it's my terrible handwriting when I'm writing out the titles to scramble. So Sorry...

Kazuo Ishiguro - The Remains of the Day
good one--I love the book and the movie
Is it the same category today?

Yes, The Passenger. A film I saw when it was released in '75 by one of my favorite directors. His most commercial success, Blow Up was the movie that he painted the grass greener coz it wasn't showing up on camera as he would have liked. Now, that's attention to detail...or craziness..but I do like the look of the movies he makes.
Your thread, Arsan..

5.)The film's penultimate shot is a seven-minute-long tracking shot which begins in Locke's hotel room, looking out onto a dusty, run-down square, pushes out through the bars of the hotel window into the square, rotates 180 degrees, and finally tracks back to a close exterior A system of gyroscopes was fitted on the camera to steady it during the switch from this smooth indoor track to the crane outside. Meanwhile, the bars on the window had been given hinges. This shot was done by cinematographer Luciano Tovoli and the director.
