the mystery guy is a man wearing a horned helmet. I haven't been able to find any post-1939 male winner who made is first sound film in 1939. Maybe I missed someone or misunderstood the complex clues. Maybe the guy in question never received an oscar but someone else in the film did (one before 1939 and one after 1939). I don't know. This seems more like a math test.

Dick Powell directed The Conqueror (1956). Agnes Moorehead played his mother. Pedro Armendáriz played his head bodyguard.

Ha, ha, ha, I'll bet you have a fantasy of being kidnapped by a Mongol War Lord!

I was just bringing the puzzle to the top of the thread again, along with your clue.

He sounded like Ethan Edwards to me.

i couldn't take more than about 10 minutes of it. It was a very stupid film.

My opinion is.... these WW 2 documentaries weren't very good. The Battle of Midway was just a bunch of isolatec scenes with no progressive full story of what happened. It was just a random mix of isolated shots that did not fit together to tell a complete story. I think it was a mistake to suddenly put top drama directors in charge of making documentaries, especially under heavy fire. The cameramen seemed to be scared as heck and hiding behind buildings and trees. Real documentary cameramen get out in the open and if they die, they hope their film survives. Like cops.... go right out under fire shooting and hope you survive it. But don't hide behind trees and buildings. The OSS documentary was amateurish and silly. Something like what a university film student could make. But I'm very glad that TCM aired them!

LOL, yeah. $12 tickets, $5 popcorn, 200 people texting with their cell phones. Tiny mall theaters. Little screens. Modern Cinema Palace:

.. Hey, where is INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS on TCM? Why did that film disappear and replaced by some unknown 1980s film?

THE THIRD MAN: CALLOWAY: I told you to go away, Martins. This isn't Santa Fe...I'm not a Sheriff, and you aren't a cowboy. You have been blundering around with the worst bunoh of racketeers in Vienna...your precious Harry's friends, and now you're wanted for murder. MARTINS: Put in drunk and disorderly, too. CALLOWAY: I have. What's the matter with your hand? MARTINS: A parrot bit me. CALLOWAY: Oh, stop behaving like a fool, Martins. MARTINS: I'm only a little fool - I'm an amateur at it - you're a professional. You've been shaking your cap and bells all over town. CALLOWAY: Paine, get me the Harry Lime file and Mr. Martins a large whiskey. MARTINS: I don't need your drinks, Calloway. CALLOWAY: You will. I don't want another murder in this case, and you were born to be murdered. So you're going to hear the facts.

Yes, you are correct.

Made silent and sound films. Well known in the 1930s. Faded into oblivion by the late 1930s. TCM shows some of her sound films occasionally.

i was joking.

HIGH NOON

Sometimes people, such as film students, cut out scenes from movies while making their own documentary. One time TCM showed THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI with the entire Fun House mirror sequence missing, and they showed the second Tarzan film with the nude swimming scene completely missing. And in many cases, the distributors are not aware that the key scenes have been removed by someone.

You guys are joking, aren't you?
