phroso Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Not LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN. Good guess, though 3.) The character in clue 2 is eventually arrested for an act of chivalry gone awry. Edited by: phroso on Feb 14, 2010 4:09 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phroso Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 4.) This film is arguably the first feature length "mockumentary," and it's not directed by Woody Allen or Christopher Guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phroso Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Not Roma or Spinal Tap, good guesses, but . . . 5.) . . . this movie preceded them both, and was once cited by Roger Ebert as one of the five greatest musicals ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phroso Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Ebert loves FAME, but it is unfortunately not the correct answer. 6.) Films ends with disposal of a lot of fake memorabilia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phroso Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 For some mysterious reason, Ebert doesn't rank CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC among the five greatest all-time musicals, but he has bestowed that honor on A HARD DAYS' NIGHT, which is the correct answer. Congratulations, Eve! Nicely done. Your move . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady Eve Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 That?s the one! Good work, phroso?and some very good guesses from lavender?this time around it was the Billy Wilder classic, shown on TCM yesterday as part of 31 Days of Oscar?

phroso Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Thanks, Eve. I watched it (again) Tuesday and it was still fresh in my mind. Next clue: 1.) As with many movies of its era, there is an opening voiceover narrator whom we never hear from again after the first few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phroso Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 2.) Much of the action centers around an ostensibly fulfilled career woman with many friends and a trusting fiancee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phroso Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 3.) One of her friends is played by an actress best known for her role in a low-budget cult classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phroso Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Not Lady in the Dark, which actually features a score by Kurt Weill/Ira Gershwin. This one is tougher than I thought it would be. 5.) Female lead's fiancee is a real Ralph Bellamy type, but is not played by Ralph Bellamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
