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.

Yep, that's it. Poor thing, it must have terribly scary for her. I think I read that this contributed to her fear of water, too. I believe the only time you really see her without a bracelet on screen is the bathtub scene in Splendor in the Grass. Anyway, she still was gorgeous.
Well done, Magoo! I'll batten down the hatches in preparation for your next question.
NATALIE WOOD: DRAMATIC SCENE: THE GREEN PROMISE (1949) - YouTube
Yikes! I bet that scene would be illegal for child actors to do today. They'd do it with CGI now.

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.

Thanks, Magoo! That was another epic one but The Andy Griffith clue was a big help. I always thought it was odd to see Mayberry resident Howard Sprague in a Sam Peckinpaw movie.
Next:
Natalie Wood wore chunky bracelets to cover up a wrist that was broken as a child. Young Natalie was hurt while filming a stormy scene on a foot bridge that collapsed. The injury wasn't treated properly and left her with a thicker wrist. In which movie did child actor Natalie Wood break her wrist?
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.

Is it The Getaway (1972) directed by Sam Peckinpaw? Jack Dodson (Howard Sprague on Andy Griffith) played Harold Clinton who was married to Fran played by Sally Struthers (from All in the Family).
Steve McQueen was on Wanted: Dead or Alive.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood starring Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio featured Damian Lewis as McQueen. Directed by Tarantino. DiCaprio played Rick Dalton who was on a show called Bounty Law.
How's that?
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. 😁

Thanks, Magoo. Whew! That one had me stumped until Pat Hingle, an actor not known for rom-coms.
Next: Sort of keeping with the last question from our resident retired veterinarian, What was the name of Detective Tony Baretta's s cockatoo on Baretta?
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.

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.

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?
