starliteyes Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This movie had 2 actresses in it who would one day marry the same man. The older actress, who appeared very briefly in an uncredited role, would marry him as her second husband 7 years after this film was made. The younger actress, having appeared in several shorts, was making her feature film debut in this movie and would marry the man in question 16 years later as her third husband. Name the actresses and the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried and tried with this one but June, Ava, Lana, Liz, Betty G, Alice Faye, Cyd and Joan and Esther W, don't seem to fit.

Need more clues, please The older actress spent her first several years in the movies playing bit parts and acting as window dressing, which was what she was still doing at the time of this movie. She went on to become a star of 'B' films. The younger actress would make a film a few years after this one that would go on to become an enduring classic and she would become a legend. The film that they were both in was a collegiate musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Hedy Lamarr and Gene Tierney ever appeared in a film together. Please see the hint that I gave below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starliteyes Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes! And did you know that if you look very carefully you can catch a glimpse of Alan Ladd as an extra? Very good work, lavender, and now it's your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks, I thought of Lynn Bari when I posted an answer to Miles question this morning about Sun Valley Serenade, that's when it occurred to me that she was the B actress. I'll post one later, in the meantime if anyone else has a question go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous 1930s movie Here's another quote from the same movie Just the movie is enough (but see if you know the characters) This second quote, same movie, different character. The first was by female, this by male "...maybe not, but love has gotta slip someplace short of suicide.' Movie? Famous from the 30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Let me add another clue. These three quotes are from the same movie. What movie? These quotes do not represent a conversation, they are isolated, they come at different times of the picture. The first quote by a female lead The second and third by male lead Extremely famous film, 1930s "I don't seem to be able to strike the congenial note." "...maybe not, but love has gotta slip someplace short of suicide.' "Have I told you today how much I adore you." === Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Let me duck in a quick one, a quote "I don't seem to be able to strike the congenial note." Movie and person who said it. Famous 1930s movie This is the wonderful Dodsworth (1936) with my (currently) favorite actor; Walter Huston. Ruth Chatterton and Walter Huston I've been watching him the last few days in some of his lesser seen films - not this one, though. The Criminal Code (1931) is one. Great performance there and Boris Karloff as an added treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I watched it last night right here on TCM (Cable). I attempted to watch it's follow up remake (Convicted - on after The Criminal Code), but that was so weak I couldn't take it. Walter Huston nailed his character. When he first arrives at the prison and the yardbirds begin their protest.. when he just saunters right out there into the lion's den.. That was a great scene.

DownGoesFrazier Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Looks like Vincent Price did. Your thread This song is arguably the quintessential song of the swing era. A great drummer wrote the song, and was on the recording of the song. The song was performed in a late '30s film. Song? Film? Drummer? Bandleader?
