The Lady Eve Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Well, lavender?you?re right on a couple of counts ? that last was the wrong war and the wrong movie - and your guess was right: *Christmas in Connecticut* (1945) with Barbara Stanwyck, Dennis Morgan, Sydney Greenstreet, Reginald Gardiner & S.Z. Sakall?a holiday favorite?good work, it?s your thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmvgor Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I keep getting images from the movie wherein Clifton Webb supposedly took over WC Fields' mantle as the go-to guy when you wanted someone to face off with precocious kids. *Sitting Pretty* ??

lavenderblue19 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Sorry finance, not the one but I get why you guessed that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yes, *Sitting Pretty* is the one I'm thinking about- Great work, cmvgor. I didn't get to use my Unisex Name and my Bowl of Oatmeal clue. Love this film and Lynn Belvedere. Again, Thanks finance for giving it a shot, Thanks eve for playing this round with me. And Thanks cmvgor. It's your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks, Lavender. I just took a wild swing there, and got lucky. NEW FILM: *1.* Stressful police work in a high-crime precinct. But moments of humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I believe DETECTIVE STORY was the primary inspiration for "Hill Street Blues". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Not *Detective Story*, but that is a good one. *2.* State-of-the-science for the issue date of the film: One wealthy VIP has a phone that does its own dialing. It sits on his desk, and is about half the size of a typewriter. He slects the punched computer card for the party he wants to call, and inserts it in a slot on the top of the unit. Then it dials the number for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinsHood Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 how about another clue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 *3.* A couple of hard cases are planning a liquor-store holdup. A bigger, smarter gang are extorting the city. They send messages that threaten to kill prominent citizens unless they are paid. (37,828) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmvgor Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 *4.* The extortionists are successful in a couple of their kill threats. Now they are taken seriously. In another subplot, a couple of teenage punks are pouring gas on homeless bums and setting them on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
