sorry, "response" (It is early Sunday morning)
-
by the way, that was in responce to Anonymous124's post of
"why have 2 people already complained about me describing the end of The New World???
its not a thriller, mystery, or a movie with a really surprising twist, like The Planet of the Apes or The Sixth Sense or The Crying Game...you knowing how it ends shouldn't affect the film the slightest."
-
A movie does not have to have a surprise ending in order to be spoiled if someone tells you about it. You described the ending and how emotional it was. That is something that should not even be known, because a person going to see it - not knowing the ending ahead of time - will be feeling a series of emotions during the length of the movie, building up towards the ending whatever it will be. If someone who had seen it said to another person going into the theater, "You're going to cry at the end," well, that's one thing. But if that same person told the person about to go in, "At the end, as she is dying and says this, and then does that, etc,", there is a good chance that person going in will turn around and not see it.

Dead Ringer
Bette Davis as The Nanny and Bette Davis as Queen Elizabeth in either Elizabeth the Queen or The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.
Peter Lawford as Nick Charles as Nick Charles in the TV series.

Exactly right. Congratulations!
When you post your challenge, I may not be able to get an answer posted until Monday morning. My computer here at home goes through AOL and I think they have some firewall or something that doesn't always let me post when I want to.

You have to weed through a lot of stuff, but you do come across some nice items coming up, including a 9 DVD set called the John Wayne-John Ford Collection, containing among others something called The Searchers Ultimate Collectors Edition. There is also a John Ford Film Collection 5 DVD set containg The Lost Patrol, The Informer, Mary of Scotland, and others.

That was meant to be "A basketball player admirer"
-
A basketplayer admirer and a government worker try to make the best of a bad situation, while sparks end up flying between a hypnotist and a lama.

By she, I mean Ali MacGraw

Ah, Love Story. Ryan O'Neal in What's Up, Doc? and Ray Milland in X the Man with the X Ray Eyes. Is Lady Ashley a cosmetic thing she was pushing?
-
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.
-
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.

And just thought of another great ending, "Field of Dreams."
