allaboutlana Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I thought about this some time in the past few weeks and was reminded of it by a remark of cinecrazydc?s. A new thread for anyone interested in playing and for any thoughts on the matter: This is?.Jeopardy TCM. All of the first posts or clues are phrased as answers, and all responses are phrased as a question. The content or subject matter is anything related to movies: who?s in it, movie titles, or details or trivia about the movies or even Hollywood. Like other threads, you wait for confirmation until you move on with your own. For example: When ?Mammy? said she ?never?d seen hair that color in all my life? in ?Gone with the Wind,? she was referring to this character, who was played by this actress.

SueSueApplegate Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 OK. I'll play. Who is Belle Watling portrayed by Ona Munson? Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 That is correct. Your turn. Link to post Share on other sites
LonesomePolecat Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 This sounds like a fun game idea, especially considering my film knowledge helped me win the final jeopardy question on the final game of the Tournament of Champions. Link to post Share on other sites
cinecrazydc Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Congratulations, polecat, on your Tournament of Champions win ! I feel completely outclassed ! Just an additional thought since allaboutlana invoked my post: it might be useful to have categories (like they do in the TV Jeopardy game) as part of the clue (noir, war film, romantic comedy, etc) so as to help the respondent narrow down the almost infinite number of answers. Other schemes as possible too, of course. Just a thought. Another possiblity for a game is having movie titles with players filling in the spaces a la "Wheel of Fortune" Example below _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ O _ E _ _ _ _ _ _ E _ _ _ _ _ O _ E _ I _ _ _ _ E _ I _ _ _ O N E _ I _ _ _ _ E _ I N _ _ O N E _ I T_ T _ E _ I N _ _ ONE _ I T H T H E _ IN _ You can probably guess by now that the title is "Gone With the Wind" Or, given your smarts, you probably could have guess at lot earlier !!

allaboutlana Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Any thoughts are appreciated and we can improve on this thread as we go along. Feel free to add any features and embellish on this idea at will. Also, your thought of ?Wheel of Fortune? is similar to that of the movie hangman thread. Link to post Share on other sites
LonesomePolecat Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Seems like someone should just post another question Link to post Share on other sites
cinecrazydc Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 OK. How about this ... In this 1960s crime movie, an actor refers in the film dialogue to a 1940s move in which he had a role as a child actor. Who is the actor ? Extra credit if you name the movie ! Link to post Share on other sites
cinecrazydc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Further clue - the 1960s film concerns two drifters and was based on a book about murders which took place in the mid-West. Link to post Share on other sites
SueSueApplegate Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Sorry. I didn't mean to skip out on this great thread idea. I just got called away and my ADD helped me forget where I was! Link to post Share on other sites
cinecrazydc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Correctamundo mr6666 -- Your thread !! Link to post Share on other sites
cinecrazydc Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Boland played the Countess De Lave, but I haven't seen the film in quite a while and my recollection is very foggy regarding the credits. I seem to recall that dogs were prevalent in the film and for some reason I was thinking that each of the women was portrayed at the end by a different breed of dog. Am I anywhere near close ?

MilesArcher Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Here's one, and remember to answer in the form of a question. Mickey Rooney, Craig Stevens, Danny Thomas, and James MacArthur have all played characters with this name. Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Who is Dan or Danny Williams ? Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yes, It's Danny Williams. Mickey Rooney in "Babes On Broadway", Craig Stevens in "Since You Went Away", Danny Thomas in his TV series "Make Room For Daddy", and James MacArthur in "Hawaii Five-O" all played characters with that name. "Book 'em, Skipper", it's your turn! Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks, Miles. This should be an easy one:-- Karlsberg is a fictional kingdom found in this movie musical... Edited by: mudskipper on Jun 8, 2010 11:05 PM Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Speaking of James MacArthur, in this movie he played a disaffected young man from a wealthy family. Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ah, James MacArthur, one of the early Disney regulars. I remember watching "Third Man On The Mountain" and "The Light In The Forest" when I was a kid and ended up looking for and reading the respective books by James Ramsey Ullman and Conrad Richter ....Good role model in his early Disney films....Anyway, just a comment.
