Thursday's question: In what film does Clifton Webb say, "If I live to be 100, I will never understand how any young man could come to Paris without evening clothes"?
Good luck!
-
You got this one, mongo! Good job!
Edgar Buchanan described himself that way in PENNY SERENADE (1941) as he showed Cary Grant and Irene Dunne how to pin a diaper on their new baby.
-
Wanet, the film you're looking for is Kevin Brownlow's IT HAPPENED HERE (1966).
-
Wednesday's question: In what sentimental classic does Edgar Buchanan describe himself as "a one-pin man"?
Good luck!
-
You got it, feaito! THE LOVED ONE (1965) was based on the book by Evelyn Waugh, and must have been one of the few movies that really lived up to its advertising.
-
Tuesday's question: What comedy from the mid-'60s was promoted as "the motion picture with something to offend everybody"?
Good luck!
-
Good guess, vallo! You are correct!
-
Monday's question: What actor -- who was certainly in a position to know -- once described an epic as "the easiest kind of picture to make badly"?
Good luck!

Greetings, everybody! The signs are encouraging -- the sun's up by the time I leave work, I can step outside in a sweatshirt and feel comfortable, and I've just realized my apartment is an ungodly mess.
Yes, with March just around the corner, spring is surely on the way!
And I'm taking my first swipe at my slovenly abode by labeling and shelving the VHS cassettes that have been piling up in the vicinity of my TV. Already the area looks 50 percent neater. But there's still a lot of cleaning and scrubbing to be done.
In the meantime, however, let's get started on this week's movie trivia . . .
-
Vallo, your answer is correct. Well done!
That's all there is, there isn't any more -- till Monday. See you then!
-
Friday's question: In what film does Marlon Brando say, "You know what luck is? Luck is believing you're lucky, that's all"?
Good luck!
-
Hmm . . . no other takers?
Yesterday's answer: All three actors played Hugo Barnstead in the various cinematic incarnations of ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON: Neil Hamilton in the original 1933 version with Gary Cooper, Jack Carson in the 1941 version with James Cagney (retitled STRAWBERRY BLONDE), and Don DeFore in the 1948 version with Dennis Morgan (under the original title).

That's because the May schedule hasn't been posted yet.
-
Thursday's question: What common movie role was played by Neil Hamilton, Jack Carson, and Don DeFore?
(Hint: The first and third movies have the same title.)
Good luck!
-
Yes, you're right on both counts, vallo.
It just occurred to me coming over here today that the mouse wasn't owned by Paul Edgecomb, but I couldn't think of the prisoner's name either! Thanks for coming up with both, and the mouse's name was Mr. Jingles.
Just shows what can happen when you're recovering from food poisoning . . .

Getting back on topic, Squdgy, have you considered a fictional movie city? Like Bedford Falls, for example? Or Sycamore Springs, the hometown of Nick Charles? Or what about Carvel, the Hardy family's hometown?
I'm sure we could think of some others . . .

Wednesday's question: What was the name of the pet mouse owned by Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) in the 1999 film THE GREEN MILE?
Good luck!
-
Vallo's in first with the correct answer! Good job!
-
Tuesday's question: What film classic is based on the play Napoleon of Broadway by Charles Bruce Milholland?
Good luck!
-
Correct, path! Although Dick Haymes and Ava Gardner were briefly linked romantically in the 1960s, they never married.
-
Monday's question: Of Artie Shaw, Mickey Rooney, Dick Haymes, and Frank Sinatra, who was not married to Ava Gardner?
Good luck!

Greetings, everybody! Now that the sun is up by the time I get off work at 7 am, I keep reminding myself that spring is not far behind. In fact, the hope of spring is sometimes the only thing that keeps me going these days, which is why I like this poem by the late E. Y Harburg (of "Over The Rainbow" fame):
My heart is like the willow
That bends, but never breaks.
It sighs when summer jilts her,
It sings when April wakes.
So, you who come a-smiling
With summer in your eyes,
Do not think that your beguiling
Will take me by surprise.
My heart is set for aching
The moment you take wing,
But not, my dear, for breaking
While there's still another spring.
So share my summer pillow,
Don't share my autumn aches,
My heart is like the willow
That bends -- but never breaks.
And now, on to this week's movie trivia . . .
-
Tracey, you are indeed correct.
Okay, that's it for this week! See you all on Monday!
