DownGoesFrazier Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 We haven't made it up to 1975 yet.. This director directed a film, starring an actor, which bombed. Two years later, he directed the same actor in a film which initially bombed, but in re-release, became a big hit, and one of the most important films of the decade. Director? Actor? The two films?

MilesArcher Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 The director is Arthur Penn, the actor is Warren Beatty, and the movies are "Mickey One" (1965) and "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967). DGF, if I'm correct, could you please respond with something besides "Yes, yours"? And please don't respond with "Yup". That has been used so much on the General Discussion forum that I'm sure most people are getting sick of it. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thank you for the very clever response. Tell me, DGF, when you were in law school learning to write legal briefs, did you take the instructions literally and make them as brief as possible? C'mon now. 'Fess up! Now, years before Gene Kelly went splashing around in a street in "Singin' In The Rain", Maurice Chevalier had a similar singing and splashing experience in a movie. Can you name that movie and the song that Maurice frolicked to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starliteyes Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I believe I can - The movie was Folies Bergere de Paris and the song was Rhythm of the Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yes, that's it. Check out this clip. That's Ann Sothern with him. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7q5av_maurice-chevalier-rythm-of-the-rai_webcam Curiously, some Hollywood movies did a foreign language version at the same time as the English language production. This movie had a French version with an actress named Sim Viva in Ann Sothern's role. Here's the French version of the song. The quality of this clip is better than the first one. It's your turn, Starliteyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yes. Yours. One of the most successful films ever made had a troubled casting and a troubled shoot, and was expected to be failure, when completed, by its director, who had never before directed a successful film.
