mudskipper Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks, Phroso.... Quote from a great movie: " Well, a woman can change better'n a man. A man lives sorta--well, in jerks. Baby's born or somebody dies, and that's a jerk. He gets a farm or loses it, and that's a jerk. With a woman, it's all in one flow, like a stream--little eddies and waterfalls-- but the river, it goes right on. Woman looks at it that way.." Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I remember that, but can?t quite place it. It sounds like something from a film about a close-knit family, like maybe Irene Dunne in *I Remember Mama* ?? Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 A close-knit family is right. But not "I Remember Mama"... Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Is it Dorothy McGuire in *I Want You* ?? Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 No, not Dorothy McGuire in I Want You. The movie is an adaptation of a novel... Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieT Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is it Edna Mae Oliver in *Drums Along the Mohawk*? Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Nope. Not Edna Mae Oliver either. But the speaker won the best supporting actress Oscar and the director also won the Oscar for this film...so it's a big production....and it's related to Drums Along The Mohawk in another way...if you know what I mean...

daneldorado Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's "The Grapes of Wrath" (1940). Jane Darwell won Best Supporting Actress, John Ford won Best Director. Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Alright, Dan, it's your thread now..".The Grapes Of Wrath" had the same leading man and director as "Drums Along The Mohawk".. Edited by: mudskipper on Jun 16, 2010 9:55 AM Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks, mudski... Here is a line you guys probably remember: "Hello? I've got to talk to the Governor. (Pause) Well, I'm afraid you'll have to wake him, then." Who said that line, and in what film? Hint: It is spoken by an Academy-Award winning actor. Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It seems like somebody's trying to prevent someone from sitting on the electric chair...but I'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 It seems like somebody's trying to prevent someone from sitting on the electric chair. Yes, the speaker is a police captain who has just received solid evidence that the condemned man is in fact innocence. He is due to die in the gas chamber within the hour. So, the officer's call to the governor is urgent. Who is the speaker, and what is the movie? Remember the hint: The speaker is played by an Oscar-winning actor.

mudskipper Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The Green Mile with Tom Hanks ?...and don't asked me why I guessed that. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 No, not Tom Hanks in "The Green Mile" (1999). New clue: The film in question was made in the 1940s. "Hello? I've got to talk to the Governor. (Pause) Well, I'm afraid you'll have to wake him, then." Who said that line, and in what film? Hint: It is spoken by an Academy-Award winning actor.

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 CALL NORTHSIDE 777? (James Stewart?) Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 No, not James Stewart. Maybe this will help: The speaker of the quote took his screen name from the name of his mother. And his mother was also a popular screen and stage actress. The question, again: "Hello? I've got to talk to the Governor. (Pause) Well, I'm afraid you'll have to wake him, then." Hint: It is spoken by an Academy-Award winning actor. Extra clue: The film in question was made in the 1940s. Who said that line, and in what film? Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Do you mean Broderick Crawford (son of Helen Broderick)? Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 If it is Broderick Crawford, the movie might be "Black Angel".. Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 If it is Broderick Crawford, the movie might be "Black Angel".. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Broderick Crawford is correct, and the movie is, indeed, "Black Angel" (1946). It isn't shown much on TCM, but in its day it was considered quite the effective whodunit. Your thread now, mudski.... Cheers, Dan Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Thanks, but you should give it to finance first since he was the one who first came up with Broderick Crawford... Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 This is just a short snatch of an extended conversation, but it still should be easy. "What little man?" Also give the name of the character that asked the question. Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 was that 'Garlopis' to 'Keyes' from *Double Indemnity* ? Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Good job especially with "Garlopis", 6s. Link to post Share on other sites
