Very funny! Too bad some movies are just like this, lol.
-
Great clue about Downtown to Down South. A ref to Petula Clark.
"Finian's Rainbow"
Fred Astaire in On the Beach
and the perfect fool is a reference to Ed Wynn, and his son being Keenan Wynn.
-
lol, it's my own fault I didn't get your vote...it was the war films in my listing. "War, war, war, that's all you men talk about. I swear the next one who mentions..." and I did. LOL.
-
Correct. I would have also accepted "The Out of Towners" for the hotelier.
-
And the president makes a pass at Galahad and Galahad flattens him.
-
perhaps people are uncomfortable with the
> non-confidential voting (afraid of offending one of
> the participants)?
I wondered about that, too, when I first posted. Maybe next time we can figure out a way to do confidential voting to a website only you can see, path. A thought went through my head about, "Well, when I vote for one, that could mean the others who contributed will not vote for me", but the whole was about having fun and programming our own week. It was our own individual network: TCM - Totally Chosen by Me, lol.
-
Okay, I guess I'm next.
A president teams up with a prostitute to find hidden money but the president is jealous of a hotelier and makes fun of Sir Galahad.
-
And we've gotten the votes from fellow contributors MattHelm and allieharding (and me, of course), but we've still to hear from hlywdkjk, lzcutter, and jarhfive. Your vote counts.

It's Casablanca for me, too. It is perfect in so many ways.
The casting, right down to the smallest roles.
The humor and timing of the different story angles coming bam-bam-bam together in each scene.
Rick telling Strasser that there are certain parts of New York the Nazis shouldn't try to invade.
The singing of the French anthem to the point it brings tears to Yvonne.
Renault: "I'm shocked, shocked to find there's gambling going on in here."
"Here's looking at you, kid."
Rick, doing what's right and sending Ilsa away with Laszlo.
Then getting to kill a Nazi.
Then walking off with your buddy to fight the good fight.
And so many more great moments.
Casablanca is the Essential film to see of American movies

And I am outta here for today.

Bruce Dern from Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte
Barbara Feldon from Get Smart
Annette O'Toole from Superman III
Melanie Griffith (Mask of Zorro Antonio Banderas's wife)
Maria O'Brien (Hunchback of Notre Dame Edmund O'Brien's daughter)
-
Well, obviously, we are talking about Smile.
-
Gad, I'm proud of that one.
-
And obviously the hit and skip clue is because she skipping away on the yellow brick road. Amazing how quick killing someone "skipped" her mind.
-
Congratulations! You got it.
Obviously, the time ticking away part of the clue was a reference to a clock.
The part about "you'll be in Baltimore" is the musical clue. The song is Chatanooga Choo Choo, and there are two lines:
"You leave the Pennsylvania station 'bout a quarter to four,
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore."
The clock of the title is in Pennsylvania Station.
-
You are going to want to give me such a beating when you figure it out (there are no clues in that statement, so don't worry about looking for one).
-
Not quite. You are on the right track (pun unintended). You're halfway there.
And a song is tied into that extra clue.
I'll give the hint that I am dying to: in the film where she was an adolescent murderess, she actually killed two people. The first one was a hit-and-skip.
-
Let me know if you need another hint.
-
And if you get that, you have to explain it.
-
I suppose that could apply, but not what I am thinking.
Time's ticking and if you don't hurry you'll be in Baltimore.
-
1940s.
-
Ouch. I went with the meaning of tosspot being drunkard but yours is correct and witty.
Okay...
Adolescent murderess falls in love with homicidal maniac before he has to leave town.
-
Actually this sound like "Ice Cold Katie" from Thank Your Lucky Stars, sung by Hattie McDaniel.
-
Oh, I am slow today. "Ship of Fools".
Oskar Werner in Fahrenheit 451, Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou (though he got plastered in other films), and Vivien Leigh as the Red from the South, Scarlett O'Hara in GWTW.
