DownGoesFrazier Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 My fault, not yours, but my question should have specified that the two remakes had different titles from the originals. Please try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 OK, how about 1. *These Three* remade as *The Children's Hour* - 1961- William Wyler 2. *Lady For A Day* remade as *Pocketful of Miracles* - 1961 - Frank Capra ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I really don't think Lavender had to put forth that much effort to come up with these answers. .........Lavender gets the thread, after coming up with two sets of such remakes, for two different years.

rosehips2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 The site isn't authenticating Lavender or Lavenderblue, so rosie is answering both of you guys! Thanks both of you. I didn't spend a lot of time on this question, yes I did know the films to list, however a courtesy I think should be extended to a poster if the question isn't worded to reflect the question asked.Let's not take this stuff too seriously. I have to admit, I have in the past said an answer was correct even though it wasn't what I was thinking about. Again, Thanks, both of you. I'll be back with a question later, that's if this @##$%$% site will let me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 In this film, there's a scene where the actors real name can be seen on a gravestone. You can probably guess the actor, but what's the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 *My Six Loves* ? ( pretty sure she's a Broadway star it's forever since I've seen this film, seems to have disappeared) but that's what happens to Debbie Reynolds and Cliff Robertson in this one. ???

MilesArcher Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It sounds like "In Person", a 1935 movie with Ginger Rogers and George Brent. Ginger gets to sing and dance without Fred to songs written by Oscar Levant and Dorothy Fields. Yes, Oscar Levant was a composer as well as a pianist. Here's one of the songs.

MilesArcher Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks. It's comforting to know that I'm unforgettable, at least in your mind. Now, there is a movie where a rich, but eccentric woman is staying at a resort hotel with her son and daughter. The daughter falls in love with the desk clerk, who sings, and the son falls for the girl friend of the desk clerk. The daughter has a fiance. The fiance, who is preoccupied with writing a book, is pursued by the hotel stenographer. The rich woman finances a musical show for charity, which contains a spectacular production number with a whole lot of tap dancers. Can you name the movie?

MilesArcher Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yes, the fiance is played by Hugh Herbert. He is writing a book about snuff. He actually says the line "Snuff is nothing to be sneezed at". The big production number is for the song "Lullabye of Broadway". It won the best song Oscar for that year. Your turn, Lavender.

lavenderblue19 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks Miles. One of Busby Berkleys very best routines Lullabyes Of Broadway . next: A woman, wanting to be rich so badly, kills a man in cold blood and gets her husband to help her dispose of the man she kills.
