Kid Dabb Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I'll turn this thread back over to you with this one.. Although Loeb was previously listed as a Communist in the anti-Communist magazine Red Channels some five years before his death, what film director fingered Loeb as a Communist to the House Un-American Activities Committee?

starliteyes Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Don't know the name of the boat club, but I believe that would be Robert Taylor in A Yank at Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dabb Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 OK... I guess that's it. A Mexican stand-off. I relinquish this thread to whomever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) OK... I guess that's it. A Mexican stand-off. I relinquish this thread to whomever. I don't think this is the definition of a "Mexican stand-off," which according to Wiki (I didn't know what it meant) is a bit more complicated than that. Interesting locution. Speaking of locutions, name the quote, actor, and film of probably the most well-known (certainly near the top anyway) utterance by a Mexican man in the Golden Age of film. It probably can be found in any collection of assembled quotes claiming to be the definitive TREASURE trove of such film-iana. EDIT: It would be interesting to try and come up with a movie which illustrates a Mexican standoff. Surely there must be one. Anyone interested in this question please Wiki this phrase and consider.
