cujas Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 This guy could get lost in the history of Hollywood if he hadn't been in some key roles and spots. He was so good playing the average Joe that everybody must have taken him for granted. He played Clark Gable's brother-in-law and had two key roles in films concerning an invalid wife being threatened with murder by her husband. To top it off, he was even President of the Academy at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Arthur Freed, not Alan Freed, was president of the Academy. The only other recognizable actors who were President during the appropriate period were Gregory Peck, Wendell Corey, and Karl Malden. Based on your clues, it can't be Peck, so it's got to be Corey or Malden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujas Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I can appreciate that you have learned the deductive reasoning of Sherlock Holmes. But in a game I can only take one answer. Indeed, you're on the right track. Go back and look at the clues-- Played Clark Gable's brother-in-law Featured in classic noirs concerning killing an invalid wife Co-starred in a classic rock movie And was indeed, President of the Academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneldorado Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Okay... This one probably belongs in the "Famous Quotes" thread, but then it isn't so famous. Who said this, and in what film? "You've not only let the cat out of the bag, but all the kittens too!" Hint: The movie was an early talkie. Cheers, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint: The movie was an early talkie. New hint: It was a comedy with both black & white and color sequences. Cheers, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daneldorado Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 {font:arial, helvetica, sans-serif}total guess "The Broadway Melody" (1929) ? BTW where was the 'brand new hint'?? No, not the Oscar-winning "The Broadway Melody" (1929). As for the "brand new hint," my intention was to "wake up" some of the denizens of this message board who appear to be sleeping... they sure weren't submitting any guesses! Kudos to you, sixes, for knowing that TBM was partly in color. There don't seem to be any extant copies of the color sequences, that I know of. Since you, sixes, DID actually submit a real guess, I suppose that I owe you a new hint. One of the most famous performers in this film appeared in only one scene, but it was a long one. Got it now?
