Burt Lancaster and James Whitmore both played prison inmates who took care of birds. Next: played a ruthless politician

Next: Name the actor who had a significant supporting role in THE GODFATHER (1972) who produced (his only one) an earlier Marlon Brando film. Name the actor/producer and the earlier Brando film he produced.

OK OK OK....got I think I got it. I knew about that earlier Ben-Hur and just didn't look. Francis X. Bushman He was in the 1925 silent version of BEN-HUR (which had a bunch of future big Hollywood stars as uncredited extras) with Novarro and he appeared in SABRINA (1954) with Hepburn. I'll await your OK before proceeding with a new quiz.

You are diabolical! Fausterlitz.....more hints! More hints! It's not Charlton Heston is it? I doubt it.

Walter Brennan as Amos McCoy. Buddy Ebsen was another as Jed Clampett. Next: started out as a TV household name who became a big Hollywood film star

Alien (1979) and there is no 2nd place. I cannot watch that movie, even today, without the lights on. The most feel good movie you've seen

THE UNTOUCHABLES (1987) Next: F. Murray Abraham

Oh dear....methinks you're looking for the tragic Sharon Tate Next: NOBODY WAVED GOODBYE (1964) I suspect NOBODY saw this movie either.

Buck Henry Next: SNL alum

Yikes! I bet that scene would be illegal for child actors to do today. They'd do it with CGI now.

Name the actor who had a significant supporting role in THE GODFATHER (1972) who produced (his only one) an earlier Marlon Brando film. Name the actor/producer and the earlier Brando film he produced.

Looks like Natalie broke her wrist in THE GREEN PROMISE (1949) starring Walter Brennan. I'll come up with a new one when you give me the high sign.

Yes, I agree. Dodson in a Peckinpaugh film was an interesting casting, however, I would say he fit the image of the character very well. It was also a waaaaaay out of character role for Sally Struthers. Dodson, I didn't know til just now, was married to the sister of actor, Fritz Weaver, who I think we discussed in another thread recently. I did not think THE GETAWAY was much of a movie, but I did like the closing scene with McQueen and Slim Pickens. It had a nice ending. I'll get to work on your Natalie question.

check, check, check, check, check, check............ I like how you filled in the little Damian Lewis connection. 👍 Regardless, you're up. I anxiously await. This appears to be yours and my private thread. 😁

Sean Connery Next: Actor, screenwriter, director

Rhys Williams Next: YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN (1993)

Fred And I did all I could to avoid treating birds. They all pecked me. Even little budgies and parakeets. Hated 'em. 😬 Here is another veterinarian quiz. Name the actor from the Andy Griffith show who played a veterinarian in a full length movie that co-starred another actor from another popular 60's-70's sit-com. A third actor, the star of the movie, also had a short lived tv show in the late 50's into the 60's. This particular tv show and it's star were later the template for a show/actor that was a critical plot point in a recent film (and big hit) that starred 2 of today's biggest male stars. The character of one of these biggest stars was fashioned after the life/career of the star of the 1st movie. Name both of the sit-com actors. Name the movie they appeared in where one was a vet. Name the other popular sit-com. Name the 3rd actor and his show of the 50's-60's (not a sitcom). Name the recent movie that copied that show in it's plot and the 2 stars of it. Extra credit: Name the directors of the 2 films I'm looking for. While generationally far apart they are known for similar genres. Good luck.

Is it Alan Bates? He died in 2003, years before the film came out. I think this movie was produced almost 30 years ago and sat around until 2020. Do you have any insight? I'll jump the gun a bit, if I may, and come up with another quiz. Next: VENDETTA FOR THE SAINT (1969)

I can always count on you, Peebs. I was reading about Shepard recently and familiarizing myself with his plays. I've never seen "True West". Two productions had John C. Reilly and Phillip Seymour Hoffman in the leads and another had Ethan Hawke and Paul Dano. I'd like to see them. I bet they were outstanding. I knew, long ago, that Shepard had aspired to being a Veterinarian. I know what that's like. I've always felt a kinship to him. Your board

Helena Bonham Carter Next: Shared the screen with Helena Bonham-Carter

CINEMA PARADISO (1988) Next: A great Japanese production

Hint #2: Pat Hingle was in it

Hint: the film was a rom-com

As some of you may be aware, I am a retired veterinarian. Too late in life, I aspired to be an actor. No great loss. Instead, I dabbled in local politics. I am living proof, as someone once said, "Politics is Hollywood for unattractive people." My quiz: However, there is a well-known, accomplished actor, director and writer who originally aspired to being a veterinarian. He went to college with that in mind but caught the acting bug and the world is much better off for it. I'm sure he would have made a fine vet, but his Hollywood career was top notch. Among his many screen roles, incidentally, was one as a veterinarian. He was the male lead in this particular film. Can you name him and the film.

Cinemaphilinosity (Definition) A film that has "cinemaphilinosity" is said to have virtues that appeal, on many levels, to connoisseurs of fine cinema; also known as cinemaphiles Variations: cinemaphilinositiness...a film that has elements of cinemaphilinosity cinemaphilinositylike...see cinemaphilinositiness uncinemaphilinosity...a film that does NOT have any elements that would appeal to a cinemaphile. How's that?
