DownGoesFrazier Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Name two Israeli actresses that had an impact on English-language films in the period 1950-1970. Edited by: finance on Jun 9, 2010 3:30 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Finance, By "impact", do you mean they made a change in the way the movies were made or viewed? ..Or did they just appear in Hollywood movies, like Haya Harareet in "Ben Hur", Elana Eden in "The Story of Ruth" and Gila Golan from "Ship Of Fools" and "Our man Flint" ?

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 The latter. It's yours, mudskipper, but isn't Dahlia Lavi better known than any of the 3 you mentioned? I agree that none of them really changed the course of film history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I always thought Daliah Lavi was from India. For some reason I keep confusing her with Chuck Connors' ex-wife.... Anyway, here's the question: " Who operated a hamburger stand called "Tiny's Patio" before he became a radio personality and famous movie star ?"

daneldorado Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wouldn't that be Alan Ladd? Cheers, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 That's right... Alan had a hard life before he met up with her talent agent, Sue, who used her connections to advance her career and whom he later married... Your thread.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudskipper Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Ok, I'll keep it going... Both Tony Curtis and Robert Wagner wrote autobiographies...In both of these books, "American Prince" by Tony Curtis and "Pieces of My Heart" by Robert Wagner, the stars mentioned a famous movie actress that they both, at different times, had a short affair (one night stand?) with . Who was that actress ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 There was a well-known comedy film of the '30s, and one of the '50s, with the same title. The '50s film, however, was originally supposed to be released under another title. Give the title of the two films, and the almost title of the '50s film.

allaboutlana Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Here?s a guess for you: Is it *Some Like It Hot (1939)* and *Some Like It Hot (1959),* previously named *Not Tonight Josephine* ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Oh boy. I was hoping not to get myself into this again, where there's more than one correct answer. I don't think the '30s version of SOME LIKE IT HOT really qualifies as a "well-known film comedy". The two films I'm thinking of were released in the early part of the '30s and '50s, respectively, and both are really well-known, with illustrious casts..

allaboutlana Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I really didn't think *Some Like It Hot (1939)* was all that famous either, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneldorado Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I'm thinking this must be "Monkey Business" (1931), an enjoyable Marx Brothers film, and the 1952 screwball comedy "Monkey Business" starring Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. The alternate title of the 1952 film is "Darling, I am Growing Younger." Cheers, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 OK, since this is general trivia rather than movie trivia, I'll take some liberties. The theme is "Sinatra in Vegas" (1) At what casino did Sinatra first perform for an extended period under contract and why did he leave? (2) At what casino did he next perform (this is the one he is most closely associated with) and why did he leave? (3) To what casino did he go for his next contracted performances, and why did he go there?............The person who gets this wins a prize of $50 in chips.

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Sinatra DID leave the casino with which his name is most associated, to go to Caesar's Palace. Gunplay had nothing to do with it, but there were two juicy reasons. Anyone? Edited by: finance on Jun 19, 2010 9:55 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
