The movie was 1985's "White Nights" starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines. Baryshnikov defected to the US, but finds himself back in the USSR. Hines is sent over there to break down his resistance to defecting again, according to Leonard Maltin. I was thinking that the Nicholas brothers also did a tap routine to Chattanooga Choo Choo in Sun Valley Serenade, although it wasn't as impressive as the one in Orchestra Wives. CharlieT

That sounds more like "The Egg and I" but it could have been released under 2 different names. That seems to happen a lot. CharlieT

Aisle 3, just past the doughnuts.

Yul Brynner in "Taras Bulba?"

Lee Marvin in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?"

Kiss of Death?

Of course I would, movieman1957. (Good year, especially for Chevys.) And, if you haven't had the chance, BWC, I recommend watching "To Kill A Mockingbird." It's my all-time favorite. In fact, I'd recommend it to any young fan just discovering classic movies. Add "Casablanca" and, along with "The Quiet Man," I think anyone would have a perfect introduction to the Classics with three different styles, three different cast structures, but one final result... total enjoyment. There are scads of other great films, but one has to start somewhere. CharlieT

Hi, BWC. I'm finally at the speed limit (55) and I've loved classic movies from my junior high school days. Of course, some of them weren't that old then. Just curious, but since you're from Ireland, what is your opinion of "The Quiet Man" and it's representation of Irish village life. On another thread, we discussed the probable time frame represented in the film, but had no clue due to the timeless nature of the village of Innisfree. Welcome to the forum. CharlieT

The spaghetti and meatballs scene in Lady and the Tramp. The foodfight in Animal House, starting with Bluto's trip through the cafeteria line. Walter Cunningham's invitation to lunch in To Kill A Mockingbird. And, of course, the "I'll have what she's having" scene in When Harry Met Sally. CharlieT

George Bruce is the writer on "The Corsican Brothers" (1941) Let's see... Bruce somebody to somebody Frank. Hmmm. Bruce Frank? *scratching head* CharlieT

Not happy with my middle. Still checking. One of them isn't an actor, according to the original question. At least the names mesh and are all real... yeah, even Tobias Frank. Guess I'll just sleep on it. CharlieT

Easy one. "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." CharlieT

Helen Mack - His Girl Friday Mack David - Cinderella David Brian - Beyond the Forest Brian George - ? George Tobias - ? Tobias Frank - Olympiasiegerin Die Frank Finlay - The Three Musketeers Finlay Currie - Great Expectations Thanks to Larry for his help. Couldn't find any reference for an interplanetary pirate and no help from "The Corsican Brothers." CharlieT

Paul Newman in "Exodus" to someone I don't know?

Yep. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Sorry I expected you to read my mind. Been married too long, I guess. CharlieT

Marjorie Main. If I was drunk enough to want to, I'd be too drunk to be able to. The second post said someone considered a "sex symbol." Well, all of those Kettle kids had to come from somewhere. CharlieT

Seriously, it was William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles in "The Thin Man" series. The mustache was a dead giveaway. CharlieT

TooManyNotes, I didn't really think you were shouting, but it is common etiquette that anytime someone types in ALL CAPS when messaging or chatting, it is the equivalent of shouting. If you want to keep typing that way, that's fine... I just I thought I give you a little jab in the proverbial ribs. CharlieT

It would be easier to believe you if you would just STOP SHOUTING! CharlieT

The Thick Man... no,wait. That's not quite right. The Anorexic Man... no, that's not it,either. The Tin Man... no, he's a character from another movie. I guess I'm coming up a little thin, man. CharlieT

Suspicion?

I got my copy of the DVD at WalMart in the $5.50 bin. When it rang up at the register, it was only $4.88. Not a lot of extra features - just the original trailer and scene selection, but good quality print. Saw it at Target for the same $4.88. At that price, you might want to treat yourself. CharlieT

Kirk and Diana Dill Douglas?

It's really difficult to pin it down to any certain decade. The Reverend Playfair's car is the only one in the entire movie and it appears to be late 20's to 30's. The fight flashback feels strikingly like the 40's. The farm machinery could be from the turn of the century. The clothing worn by Sean Thornton seems to fit into a range from the late 30's to the early 50's. I think the movie was meant to be, in a sense, timeless. It adds to the mystique and allows us to escape to Innisfree more easily. I guess you could say it is our own little cinematic "Brigadoon" destined to appear anytime we slide it into the VCR or DVD player. It isn't the only movie that can do this. There are several and all of them are classics. CharlieT

I think it was just part of the old world culture. Well before and thousands of miles away from Women's Lib. In the 50's, this was expected even in some households here in the USA. CharlieT
