Terrence1 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 A certain legendary actress made a movie with someone very popular with teenagers. When asked how she felt about having this person in her movie, she replied, "Correction. I am in his movie." Certainly a very gracious remark on her part. Who is she?

lavenderblue19 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have a guess, first thing that came to mind, but I'll hold off to see if someone else can get this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Several possibilities come to mind. Angela Lansbury played the mother of Elvis in "Blue Hawaii" and Lizabeth Scott starred in "Loving You" with him. Janet Gaynor came out of a long retirement to be in "Bernardine" with Pat Boone, and Alice Fay did the same thing for "State Fair" with Pat Boone and Bobby Darin. Veteran Actress Betty Field was in "Hound Dog Man" with Fabian. There's also "Parrish" with Claudette Colbert and Troy Donahue. Chances are that none of these are what you're looking for.

lavenderblue19 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This actor won an Oscar for his performance in this film, directed by an Oscar winning director (for other films). The actor had auditioned for a role in another of this directors films. He didn't get that role, but the director was so impressed, he gave him this very important support role in this very famous film. Both of the films were released the same year. Name the 2 films, the actor and the director ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Without doing any research, I'm going to guess that it was Jack Lemmon, who did not get a role in "The Long Gray Line", but director John Ford cast him as Ensign Pulver in "Mr. Roberts".

lavenderblue19 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Correct on all counts Miles. Found this thread and didn't want it get lost forever. Thanks, good work, it's your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I was just doing my mind-reading thing, Lavender. It was the first thing that came to me. Now, in "Guys And Dolls" Subby Kaye plays a character called Nicely Nicely Johnson. That character, played by a different actor, appears in an earlier movie. Can you name that other movie and the actor who played the part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 THE BIG STREET also based on a Damon Runyon story as is GUYS AND DOLLS - the character Nicely Nicely Johnson in The Big Street is played by Eugene Pallette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 That's right, Lavender. Both Stubby and Eugene were on the rotund side, as well. Your turn now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Thanks. I'm in the minority probably, but I'm not fond of The Big Street, found it to be too depressing and at the same time I LOVE GUYS and DOLLS next This film was originally going to be shot in black and white. It was shot in color because of something the 2 leads were known for. Name of film, the 2 leads and what was it about the leads that was the deciding factor to shoot the film in color ????

lavenderblue19 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Correct DGF Most of the screen versions of Tennessee Williams writings were done in b&w, but because of E. Taylor's gorgeous eye color and Newman's gorgeous blue eyes, it was decided the best way to showcase them would be in color. Good thinking, your thread.
