Love your new avatar, by the way. Too bad the Packers cleaned your clock on Super Bowl I.

I'll start, #3 is Susan Peters #6 is Leo Genn No idea what the connection is yet

Glad I could help out.

I think this is it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Taking_of_Flight_847:_The_Uli_Derickson_Story

Being in academia for 40 years, I can really appreciate this scene from Annie Hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTSmbMm7MDg

Oops, sorry I messed up the thread. I'll leave it open and I'll be more careful next time.

We didn't identify the people yet, so I will pick off a few: #4 Tom Poston #5 Peter Bull #7 Raymond Massey

I believe they were all in versions of The Old Dark House.

Although Stanwyck was tough, I just can't see her blowing off a pimp's head with a shotgun. But I could be wrong.

#10 is Kenny Baker.

About a month ago, I was at the New Britain (CT) Museum of Art, and from a distance, spotted a painting of several men. At first glance, I thought one of the men looked like Barry Fitzgerald, which seemed odd. As I moved closer, I realized I was correct … which brings me to … The Long Voyage Home (1940) A surprisingly engrossing film about men aboard a freighter just at the outbreak of WW II. Some action here and there, but mostly a treat to watch the ensemble cast working together. John Wayne is almost believable as a soft-spoken Swede. However, Thomas Mitchell and Ian Hunter stand out, particularly in a scene where the crew humiliate Hunter, whom they think is a spy. The ending is downbeat, but does nothing to spoil the film. Worth a look. Now, on to the painting. In 1940, Grant Wood painted a scene of several men in a bar, and called it “Sentimental Ballad.” It is a beautiful piece of art. The painting is shown below, along with a similar scene from the film, in case you have trouble identifying the actors.

Looking at the first poster, that is definitely Martha Mears at the bottom right, but there is also a girl upper right dancing who is not Martha Mears. Now looking at the second poster, the girl is wearing the same outfit as the dancer, and does not look like Martha Mears. But she does look like Jean Porter.

Good find. The guy in question does appear to be Kenny Stevens, but I still think the girl is Jean Porter. She was still relatively unknown at the time and so maybe was not mentioned among the cast. I can find items on the musical stars of the film, but no other cast members.

Actually, I am not convinced that photo is from Rainbow Rhythm. The 15-minute film featured Al Donahue and his orchestra from New York's Rainbow Room, along with a few other musical acts.

The girl looks like Jean Porter.

The guy sucking on the straw is Bela Lugosi (just kidding). But the guy on the right is definitely Tom D'Andrea.

That, and the really atrocious makeup.

There was an inferior remake entitled Jim and Tammy Faye, but audiences were repulsed.

The tabernacle built for this film actually had a seating capacity of about 25,000. Inside the building, Frank Capra had to use a public address system so that the 2000 extras could hear him. Because the tabernacle was to be burned down in the climactic scene, the Hollywood Fire Department ordered that it be built outside the city limits.

If your internet provider is among those listed on the site, there is probably a way to do it. Again, you would need a username/password with your internet company.

The Girl and Her Trust (1912) youtube Very entertaining D. W. Griffith short (about 15 minutes) stars Dorothy Bernard as a feisty telegraph operator who is accosted by two tramps bent on stealing a strongbox from a train station. She locks herself in her office and fires off a telegraph for help. Then, as the villains attempt to break into her office, she inserts a bullet into the keyhole of the door, puts the point of a pair of scissors against it, and whacks it with a hammer, setting off a charge. When the bad guys flee with the strongbox, she chases them down as they commandeer a handcar. The three go flying down the railroad tracks. Her boyfriend (who works for the railroad) finally arrives on the scene, and hops aboard a locomotive in hot pursuit. Eventually, the villains fall off the car in exhaustion, and are collared. Bernard and her boyfriend hoist themselves on the front of the locomotive and ride off in bliss.

Then again, maybe the horses were upstaging each other.

Maybe ... but I was referring to Gloria Swanson ...

For $85, do they at least include the Robert Osborne bobblehead?

This may be connected to the upcoming solar eclipse.
