Edythevanhopper Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Guess #1 Days of Glory? FYI As I looked up info I found there were 367 film plots involving Nazis in the '40s as opposed to all other decades having an average of 30 or so.

Edythevanhopper Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That's crazy...that was my next guess. I could picture Spencer Tracy in the jacket scene...maybe I HAVE seen this movie...we'll see what Metz says.

Edythevanhopper Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks Metz. I'm going to buy it. Warner has released it on Dvd..must have seen it at a young age. It's Mudskipper's thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudskipper Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 You can have the thread, Edy. Don't have anything right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 These 2 films were released the same year...huge casts and 2 of the biggest stars in the casts were in these 2 films...early 60's. Besides the 2 male actors there is a particular feature shared that puts these films into a category with few films listed. Name the 2 films, 2 actors and what makes them so special.

Edythevanhopper Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Was it really that easy? Films are correct. For accuracy's sake...did you know the actors? probably yes...and the common feature making these 2 films different from others? probably yes as well...take the thread finance.

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 An unrelated actor and actress of classic films had the same uncommon last name, which was the real last name for both. They never appeared in a film together, though they were appearing in films at the same time. The actress had a bigger career than the actor. Who were they?

lavenderblue19 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Madeleine Carroll, Leo G. Carroll?? Margaret O'Brien, Edmond O' Brien ?? Susan Hayward, Louis Hayward ?? If not, then a question, did they spell their names the same way or Irene Dunne, James Dunn ?? and did their careers overlap, one was at the tail end of the other? ex. Warner Baxter, Anne Baxter, Tex Ritter, Thelma Ritter???? Edited by: lavenderblue19 on Mar 23, 2012 11:03 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I came up with Ethel Blythe (Barrymore) and John Blythe (Barrymore) but the clue about their careers being unequal doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I said it was an uncommon name. "Young" is not an uncommon name. This is a two-syllable last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 All of these are good guesses. An additional hint---they both appeared in noirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edythevanhopper Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Who the h**l knows? I found his name (real) in a movie from a 1939 film. I was desperate...mad that Joan Crawford and Broderick Crawford didn't fit after digging.. Guess I'll take your response as a definite NO..

lavenderblue19 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Edythe-a word of advice- you can take or leave- this isn't the first time you've mentioned that you spent time digging for answers. For the most part the old timers here are not looking for obsecure names or obsecure answers to questions. For the most part answers make sense when the clues are read and followed and are familiar to everyone. Just throwing that info in so that you don't have to spend time doing all that work.
