cmvgor Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 *Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde* , famous for the sequence in which he went from J to H in one camera shot, no stoppages, no makeup changes. (??) Link to post Share on other sites
THEMovieman Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Correct! Here is the next question- What actor was very angry about not being chosen for the part of Chief Brody in "Jaws?" Link to post Share on other sites

cujas Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I've got one-- Who was the first #1 Top Box Office Movie Star to die from illegal drug addiction? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 The way it works around here is that the last poster with the correct answer gets to ask the question if they want, if not they leave the thread open. mr.6's guessed correctly, so we wait for him tp post a question.

cujas Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 The Movieman opened it up and it's his thread--but Comme vous voulez Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 cujas sorry, didn't see that you had posted a question. However I still don't see where 6's left the thread open since he answered Heston correctly. I couldn't care less who goes, my comment was for movieman. As a new poster he may not be aware of the rules around here. Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 We can go back to Mr Six--if he wants to or take my question--Whatever? Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Wallace Reid? Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Eve--that's one that only my mother would remember. You're a national treasure! It's all yours-- Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Though I didn?t exactly remember the event (since Wallace Reid died in the ?20s when my own mom was in diapers), I did remember the legend of his infamous death?thanks?will be back? Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Here's one: This actor agreed to star in a Joan Crawford movie but then tried to back out after reading the script. His lawyer advised him to stick with the film and he did. Actor and film? Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Very good guess?but not John Garfield?I imagine a few actors considered backing out on Miss Crawford, but who would dare?? This actor made many films but never became a top star? Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Zachary Scott in either FLAMINGO ROAD or MILDRED PIERCE? Link to post Share on other sites
The Lady Eve Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 No, tho a good guess, it?s not Zachary Scott. Seems Miss Crawford had a penchant, once she?d become a Top Movie Star, for selecting leading men who were not as legendary as she?this actor is best remembered for another film in which he starred with a beauty who was 15 years younger than Crawford and only about a decade younger than her leading man?

cujas Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 When movie stars say" I'm ready for my close-up", they have one man to thank for the technique. Please name this cinematographer, his boss-director, and one example of a film where he used this device. Brownie point for the name of the duos star. FYI--This was a question from my Film 101 Class in College Edited by: cujas on Jun 28, 2010 4:07 PM Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Mr. 6, I cannot deny that that close-up was the first one they showed in film class. However, the popularization and artistic development of the close-up has always been attributed to Billy Bitzer, DW Griffith's cameraman, in films like *Orphans of the Storm*91921) and *Broken Blossoms*(1919) starring Lillian Gish. Since I'm not the Movie Professor--I won't argue with you-- Mr. 6 its all yours! Link to post Share on other sites
