  1. RICHARD BARTHELMESS Moonlight ______ (from a song by Doris) and Tiger ____ (a movie featuring a child actress Greta in Camille and Bette in Dark Victory were ____ Part of DOW (movie by Dreyer) + Early prop in 2001 A Space Oddysey that is thrown in the air
  2. Pffffft (Judy Holliday, divorce, black and white comedy)
  3. THE IMMORTAL STORY ...of those who are perforce ne?er forgotten. Allen wanted to become the first kazoo virtuoso in history and by such distinction achieve greatness in a heretofore non-existent discipline but could not find a composer who would undertake a kazoo concerto. Profoundly depressed, he became the?
  4. MUSIC FROM ANOTHER ROOM ...on a higher plane, perhaps, if it even matters. Nonsense reigns, vive le jabberwocky, in the life and the dreariness of Alan?s existence (and of us all perhaps) whatever the tune and Alan's seeming high adventures are likely only the fancy within the mind of an afflicted soul, or worse perhaps, all too real. But oh, not these tones, so goes the ode, nonsense or no life goes on and Alan, with still another resolution, vowed to learn to play the kazoo, a most noble calling for anyone seeking?
  5. Wild Boys of the Road Idiot spouses (Hint: A silent, the star and director is the same person, quite well-known) Edited by: laffite on Oct 7, 2009 7:46 PM
  6. ROMEO AND JULIET RICHARD III or HENRY V
  7. Walter Neff...Fred MacMurray in DOUBLE INDEMNITY
  8. >I'm not sure why that is. I'd be curious to know if anyone else recorded The Devil to Pay and if they had a "poor signal" near the outset or not Hi Frank, I DVR-ed Devil to Pay and have been running it on slow fast forward with no glitches. I have Cox Cable here in Chargerville (Cable service is better here than our girdiron service). So maybe TCM is off the hook, then.
  9. This movie has one of the most marvelous openings I have ever seen and I don't think I've ever seen a more attractive woman anytime anywhere than Carole Lombard in that opening. She looks so good in those slacks and she is so cute with that fishing pole. She is breezy and so breathtakingly real. When Cary comes on the scene, the two given some good dialogue. "How about a sandwich?" he says to her. "I have some, thank you." "That's what I mean, How about offering me one." Okay, you have to see it, but it's a wonderful conversation overall. Of course, the story goes downhill from there but it took awhile at least. Also awhile for me to get used to Kay as meanie but by movie's end I was more or less convinced. This movie really does have a dark side and by the end, downright austere in some respects, all of which is a little surprising because, as you so correctly point out, by all appearances this began as a pretty airy and pleasant romantic comedy. The two wonderful people in the opening scene were never quite the same again as the weight of the story stifled the sweeter part of their natures. A pity.
  10. >Time Warner. Hmmm... Hi, Cinemaven, I have Cox and so far no problems...but if anything happens I'll be sure to post. You are making me laugh with your, uh, commentary.
  11. Eve Kendall...Eva Marie Saint in NORTH BY NORTHWEST
  12. TO CATCH A THIEF CATCH-22 or THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN
  13. KISSING COUSINS Competition regulations (a glitch, numbered = Catch-22)
  14. 78 "Okay, I'll be examined...but I won't see Dr Spock. That last mind meld did me in."
  15. PRINCESS O' ROURKE ...who was not as rich as the Princess of Monaco but who was lavishly adorned nonetheless with glistening marvels. The pickings were easy as no one in this high society apparently knew how to catch a thief and that made it simple for rear window types like our two anti-heroes, psychotic though they may be, to plunder like pirates the opulent blind. But what disillusionment for Alan when he discovered his watch missing, a K-Mart specialty for which he paid $10 and was now gone forever. His accomplice therefore he vowed to henceforth forgo and anon found himself in the company of another wacko who?
  16. (yes, cerf, as in "I'm going cerfing today." BORIS KARLOFF Derek Jeter wears one at work I Love ____ Martin or Charlie
  17. SOLOMON AND SHEBA THE QUEEN OF SHEBA or THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH AND ESSEX
  18. That Touch of Mink Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Yogi Berra Name a war movie based on a novel in which an actor who has played a least two tycoons as well as a couple of tragic Shakespeare figures in other movies has the role of a General in this one. Hint: The actor above played a famous Citizen as well as a Shakespearean Scot. Name the movie. Edited by: laffite on Oct 7, 2009 12:04 PM to add the clue before the 24 hour edit limit.
  19. SWEPT AWAY with all kinds of grandiose ideas and on occasion would stomp around the cell and declaim all kinds of utter nonsense. Alan?s hangover was excruciating, no more Berlinerveis for him, or anything else that he had never heard of. In fact, he wanted out of Germany altogether, a place with bizarre mademoiselles and pretentiously extravagant and xenophobic ideologues who would no doubt eventually succumb unnoticed to the world into the deep cauldron of the forgotten departed. He now fancied himself the hero of the picaresque novel and what and where would be his next adventure? He soon found out when...
  20. Bennett Cert Caio____ Danny Rose's client, _____ Canova If you think you?ll like the movie ______ it.
  21. CARRIED AWAY by his own impetuosity precipitously forged ahead. There was a loud commotion inside, a grand party it seems, boy, thought Alan, this Mademoiselle Fifi sure knows how to live it up. He was given a choice of German beer or French wine but his only concern was the whereabouts of Mademoiselle Fifi. Pandemonium ensued (as well as a bit of hilarity) and Alan came away thinking mademoiselles are not what they used to be (although he kind of liked Rachel). Disillusioned, he vowed?
  22. >Which Leslie movies are you looking forward to this month? I'll keep an eye as they come. I remember seeing L-shaped Room a long time ago. So that one for sure, I remembering liking it. I think I like her more in something like that and perhaps a little less those lavish musicals she was in. I have never seen Fanny because it is based on a classic trilogy of French films of the 30s that I love so much and I worry about the grimace that comes when seeing a relatively modern treatment. You see what a coward I am? But I'm not walking the plank, forget it.
