No, I am okay, just having an incredibly busy day at work (it's been like this all week) and it is hrd to get a coherent thought going. I am guessing the see through clue refers to either Ray Milland, Kirk Alyn, George Reeves or Chris Reeve.

Ahhh...

Is the Lady Ashley clue a ref to The Sun Also Rises?

Hi, I came across this listing through the WB site for the next few months. http://whv.warnerbros.com/WHVPORTAL/Portal/browsesearchtitles.jsp?functionmode=2&currentpagenumber=1&total=184

Well, I got the Ava Gardner connection but having trouble with the musicoligist.

I thoroughly like this movie, too, but I am sure Lemmon didn't win the Oscar. He did get one for Save the Tiger around this time.

I grant you that Olivier was a possibility because of one name, but I was referring to That Man from Tangiers where his name was George Sanders. And I had C. Aubrey Smith playing the Duke of Wellington in House of Rothschild abd another film, Queen of something. Either would have been good. I know he played people named Duke in a number of other films but I wasn't aware that he wa the Duke of Wellington im the film you mentioned. As to Fitzgerald, that I couldn't give credit because he really was a sadistic seaman in one film. The Sea Wolf. Being crotchety is what he was always in his movies, so you can see the distiction. I sense some of the clues seem to be irritating you. I thought you said you wanted them a little tough.

Actors are right on Smith, Young and Fitzgerald, but incorrect films. And the Huston answer is right except the one film is actually called The Transatlantic Tunnel.

Correct.

Okay, this should be easy. The Duke of Wellington suspects a man who was twins who suspects a murder suspect's aunt who suspects an odd professor who suspects a man whose name is the same as a famous actor who suspects a western Russian who suspects a man who was President of the Unites States three times who suspects a sadistic seaman.

Yes, definitely. Sorry, always have trouble typing and being clearheaded at this time of day. In other words, during working hours.

Of course, it is Joseph Cotten in Magnificent Andersons.

Angels with Dirty Faces

Well, actually, I almost put Airport on my list under my Great Film Composers day because Alfred Newman's score for this is excellent. I left it off to concentrate on another of his films where I thought the score was better.

As to silent stars, yes, I think they did a Star of the Month to L:on Chaney at least once. I'd like to see one on Dick Powell. It could be called "From Tenor to Tough Guy".

What, you didn't mention Toys or Death to Smoochie?!

Welles in Casino Royale William Alland producer of many sci-fi but need help with the car maker. I am not sure if this is like the Alland clue, a real-life thing, or a character played a role. Too many male parts to determine this.

lol, either i'm getting denser or your clues are getting more complicated. I think we are talking about Citizen Kane. Rosebud was Ritchie Petrie's middle name (which I recall came from the first letter of all the relatives who wanted the boy named after them). The physically challenged lawyer is Edward Sloane from The Lady from Shanghai. The rest I will have to work on.

As to the next challenge after this one ends, are you sure you can't be convinced to take charge of it? Since I am the one to have suggested the next one be the "one studio each week" possibility, I still want to take part in it. And, definitely, I want to see what you come up with for your own sched.

LOL! You could even have a special day with Benji, whatever sequels it had, Oh Heavenly Dog, and call the day Going to the Dogs. You can bet a lot of the naysayers would jump on that and agree, lol.

Well, the detective angle for Bogart basically came in after he became a star with the Maltese Falcon, and as memory serves he only portrayed a private detective twice, MF and the Big Sleep. He also played an assistant district attorney trying to break Murder,Inc. in The Enforcer. In Marked Woman, he was a district attorney. However, you could include these: All Through the Night: this was kind of a comedy in which he was a gangster but he was trying to solve a murder. Dark Passage: figures out who framed him for murder Across the Pacific: this is a war movie but the main character is actually an undercover Army Intelligence officer. No murders to solve, though. Dead Reckoning: He is a returning war hero whose buddy takes a powder and is later found murdered. He tracks down the killer. In Knock on Any Door, he was a defending attorney of a young man accused of murder. In Deadline USA, he was a crusading newspaper editor out to expose a crime lord. I hope this helps.

lol, sorry, lz, beat you to the Stepen Boyd joke already. lol.

lol, we should do a quiz and have one list that has a list of films and next to it two word answers in mixed up order that spoil the film's ending. For example: Rosebud sled Casablanca Rocky coward? Citizen Kane Rhett leaves Angels with Dirty Faces Loses Ilsa Gone with the Wind

You are right about the choices and about Titania. Sorry about that. I should not depend on my -- um...what's it called...memory, is that the word?

Exactly. Now, roll the credits.
