Movie Trivia

Doris Day while filming Midnight Lace is correct :)

 

Doris' first husband trombonist Al Jordan, physically abused her during their marriage. When she was pregnant with her son Terry, her husband  dragged her out of bed and threw her against a wall. In her autobiography she talks about how she thought about that incident when she had to be hysterical in a scene during the filming of Midnight Lace. She wasn't acting, she did become hysterical and when the scene was complete she fainted. Ross Hunter stopped production for a few days while she recuperated.

 

Good work starlite, your thread

While entertaining the crew during a break by doing imitations of her co-star, he showed up on the set and walked off in a huff.  Before filming could continue, she had to go and apologize to him.  This was the second time in her career that she had to apologize to a co-star, although it was for a different reason the first time.  Can you name the actress, the co-star and the movie?

Okay, Lavender.

 

The first time that the actress in question had to apologize she was a child and her co-star was much, much older.  This time around she was in her teens and while the age gap wasn't as great, her co-star was still too old for her to end up with him at the end of the picture.

Well, you got one third of it right.  Shirley Temple is the actress and, although she did make a movie with Ronald Reagan, it wasn't "Miss Annie Rooney."  It was "That Hagen Girl" and she did end up with him despite their age difference.

 

Another hint - There was a third major star in this movie and she was the one who ended up with the leading man.

Good question starlit

 

next

 

This actor was a nobody and given a starring role in a film. The film bombed, and he rhen appeared in less than stellar roles until close to 10 years later. In that film, almost 10 years later after that film that bombed, he had the leading role and that made him a star. He became a legendary actor. Who was he, name the film he bombed in and the film that made him a star ???

No, lavender, I didn't see that discussion.  I was just taking an educated guess.  I knew that John Wayne had played small roles for many years before "Stagecoach" made him a star, and I also knew that he had starred in "The Big Trail" almost 10 years before, although I didn't know that it had bombed.  Anyway I just put 2 & 2 together and took a chance.

 

I'm at work right now and don't have anything, so the thread's open.

Thanks, Starlit.  I had heard that before about Ms. Grayson, but had forgotten.  That's hard to believe because she had a lovely voice and could really hit the high notes.  But nobody is perfect.  Now back to the game.

The title song to this movie was sung and recorded by Donna Summer.  The title song to another movie was sung and recorded by the Psychedelic Furs.......What are the two films?
