Yes, Patricia Neal and The Day The Earth Stood Still is correct Between takes, Patricia Neal said she was laughing. She admitted she thought the film would just be another silly scifi film and didn't realize that the film would become one of the most famous and best sci fi films ever made.She had a hard time saying " klatu harada nikto" without laughing. Good thinking Fausterlitz, your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausterlitz Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Thanks, Lavender Blue! Next: The following directors all remade their own films, in some cases nearly 30 years later. How many of the originals and their remakes can you name? (Note: in many cases, the remake has a different title than the original. Also, in every case the original is in black-and-white, and the remake is in color.) Frank Capra Cecil B. DeMille John Ford Howard Hawks (not counting the strong influence of Rio Bravo on both El Dorado and Rio Lobo) Alfred Hitchcock Leo McCarey Yasujirô Ozu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Story of Floating Weeds (1934) & Floating Weeds (1959) Hey, Peebs, you got 6 out of 7! #3 is incorrect (Red Dust was directed by Victor Fleming), but admittedly a bit tricky. Hint: the original is a silent film, and the son of its lead actor appears in the remake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although Marked Men is 1919...also a lost film, as unfortunately are the majority of Ford's silents.) Nice work as always, Peebs, and you are once again Master of the Thread. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Another pair for Frank Capra would be "Broadway Bill" (1934) and "Riding High" (1950) where many of the original cast members played the same roles that they had played previously. It's still your turn, Peebs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebs Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 F Scott Fitzgerald? 1. F Scott Fitzgerald and the Last of the Belles (1974) 2. Midnight in Paris (2011) 3. Last Call (2002) 4.

Fausterlitz Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Yes, Peebs, that's it! For some reason four of these actors (Chamberlain, Hiddleston, Irons, Peck) are or were well over 6 feet tall, whereas Fitzgerald was only 5'8-1/2" (e.g., 6.5 inches shorter than Peck). Hiddleston is probably the most similar-looking otherwise: Nice sleuthing, and your thread. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebs Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thanks, Fausterlitz! I'd say of that list Jason Miller was the least obvious choice to play Fitzgerald. Next: Same idea, what real life person did each of these actors play on tv or in movies?

Peebs Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thanks, Princess. That was fun one. Here's a clip of their duet: Next: Elvis Presley first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on Sept. 9, 1956. However, Ed Sullivan was not hosting that night. He was in the hospital recovering from a serious car accident. What rotund Oscar-winning actor was the guest host that night? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
