but need more of a clue with the remaining one.

Robert Morley in Marie Antoinette

Oh, of course, the Diana Rigg thing is A Little Night Music.

Another wild guess, Somebody Up There Likes Me?

Vincent Price was the quiz show host in Champagne for Caesar Coral Browne was Mrs. Vincent Price Diana Rigg in Evil Under the Sun? (if we are going for a TV reference other than Mrs. Peel, I will be in trouble) But I am lost on family slaughter and marie's husband.

Much too easy. Theater of Blood.

Instead of "hangs around with," I could have said "goes roamin' with" but I thought that would be too obvious.

And we have a winner.

yes.

And the art thief was only a one-time thing, a crime committed to stop another crime from being found out.

The film is post 1940s. The liontamer is male.

lol, if I said more than that, it would probably give it away. Work from one of the other characters (after all, how many films had a lion tamer?). If you really need a clue, I will give one.

When I lived in British Columbia, we got a number of stations from the Seattle area. One, KIRO-TV, used to have Friday nights late as horror night, and there was a funny horror host, Count something-or-other. I can't remember what he would talk about but I recall him being hilarious. The program would start with him in a Dracula costume getting out of a coffin and then he would talk about the films for that night. I seem to recall hearing the person who played him was also the general manager for the station. There was also a kids program early each weekday morning called "J.P.Patches" but you knew they were writing comedy for the adults who would tune in before going off to work. It had nothing to do with movies but it was the same station and it used to crack me up. And I don't know if it was the same station but there was one channel that would run a chapter of a Republic serial each afternoon.

Since there are so many sleazy lawyers in films, let me add that it was a small part and what goes round comes round.

I didn't see the magazine, but it likely had more recent references than old. lol, Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein is considered one of the greatest performances of all time? Somebody's smoking something over at Premiere. Who would I pick... Well, these are just off the top of my head and not in order, but: Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird Maggie Smith in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie Sidney Poitier in "To Sir with Love" Olivia de Havilland in "The Heiress" James Cagney in "White Heat" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" Broderick Crawford in "All the King's Men" Judy Holliday in "Born Yesterday" Charlie Chaplin in "City Lights" Celia Johnson in "Brief Encounter" Humphrey Bogart in "Dead End" and "The African Queen" Gloria Swanson in "Sunset Blvd." Henry Fonda in "The Grapes of Wrath" Peter Sellers as "Dr. Strangelove" Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar named Desire" and "On the Waterfront" Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt in "As Good As It Gets" Jack Lemmon in "The Apartment" and "Days of Wine and Roses" James stewart in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" Charles Laughton in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" William Daniels in "1776" Ernest Borgnine in "Marty" Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon in "Some Like It Hot" Bette Davis in "All About Eve" Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" there are so many more.

I mean, he was referring to the Al Pacino version, not the great Muni version.

Now, the movie I would like to see on TCM would be the silent version of "The Sea Hawk".

Actually, there is a DVD release of the original Scarface, but you have to buy the special boxed set of the newer Scarface to get it. Thanks, but no thanks. I wouldn't waste a cent on the newer version boxed set, even if one fan on Amazon called it "one of the most influential films of the 20th century." I think I must have missed that alternate universe century. In mine, Scarface (the younger) was a dog of a movie.

A lion tamer and a sleazy lawyer hang around an art thief.

Thanks, I have enough trouble telling reality from reelity, lol.

Sorry, took a little longer to track down the roles and that was what the problem was, some of these were not roles, which makes it a little too hard. Kirk Douglas really did survive a helicopter crash, Lana Turner got entangled with a gangster boyfriend, but I don't know if Barry Sullivan really was a burn victim. At least, I can identify roles belonging to Pidgeon in Funny Girl and Powell ion Murder, My Sweet.

The Bad and the Beautiful

Completely right. Your turn.

A famous traveller gets caught up in a hoax, orchestrated by a carnival owner, a boxer's manager, and a rotund detective. A gnome is against it.

TCM Programmer, may I add another title for replay? It is "Miracles for Sale" starring Robert Young. It was on the other day but I am not sure if it started early or what exactly but I didn't get the first five minutes or so on my DVR timer. I watched the rest of it and enjoyed it, but I would like to see the opening minutes of it. Thanks.
