DownGoesFrazier Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The actor who starred in the original and the non-musical remake was primarily a Fox actor. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 He was one of the biggest Fox stars. Link to post Share on other sites
FanofCary Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Your last clue triggered my memory. Tyrone Power is one of my Mom's favorites and also a big star at 20th Century Fox. I got her a box set of Tyrone Power movies and two of the movies below are in that box set. The movies are: Love is News Sweet Rosie O'Grady That Wonderful Urge Link to post Share on other sites

FanofCary Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thanks. I'm going to leave the thread open for someone else to ask a question. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Name 3 classic films about a female real-life performer (or based on a real-life performer) on the skids. Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Susan Hayward's *I'll Cry Tomorrow, With a Song in My Heart* and *Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman* Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Can you name one starring an actress other than Hayward? If I was looking for one actress, I would have mentioned it in the question. Sorry. Edited by: finance on Dec 2, 2011 3:25 PM Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 *The Helen Morgan Story* Ann Blyth ?? Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 How about Doris Day as Ruth Etting in "Love Me Or Leave Me" or Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice in "Funny Girl" ? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Well, for that matter depending on where you draw the line on classic- TCM has shown *Lady Sings The Blues* - Diana Ross as Billie Holiday. I think that may not be what you were thinking about, but according to your clue, she certainly hit the skids. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 All of them are good. I was thinking of Kim Novak in JEANNE EAGELS. Lana gets the thread. Edited by: finance on Dec 3, 2011 11:56 AM Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 The 20th Century logo is seen in the opening credits with no music, in two movies: The Bible, in the Beginning and this Oscar-winning film. And, a child is heard singing in the dark, when the logo fades in during the song, in this film. There are two movie titles I'm looking for, for the answer.

allaboutlana Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Niether one. The movie with no music heard during the 20th Century logo has never been on TCM, but is seen every year at Christmas on network tv.. The lead actress had won an Oscar prior to this film. The film with the young child singing during the beginning of the film is usually seen at October, due to its dark tone and disturbing content, (but can seen from time to time on TCM), and has one big similarity to the first answer. It also features an actress with many Oscar nominations but no wins. Edited by: allaboutlana on Dec 6, 2011 8:22 AM Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The October staple sounds like *The Innocents* (1961) with Deborah Kerr. Drawing a blank on the other one. Link to post Share on other sites
allaboutlana Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 *The Innocents* is correct. The similarity between it and the other is that Kerr and the leading actres both play governesses looking after children. *Sound* familiar? Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 After using up a lot of time on Mary Poppins and Nanny McFee, the other one was *The Sound Of Music*, ja? Link to post Share on other sites

flashback42 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 *?WHO SAID THIS BASACKWARDS?* Several quotes, the speakers identified. All about the same person. *Who?* "We should take up a collection to send (him) to Yale." ...Ernest Hemingway "(He was) the one everybody fought with." ...Burton Bernstein, New Yorker staffer, Thurber biographer "(He is) the Master of the Fancied Slight." ...Hooboy. Robert Benchley, Bennett Cerf, Harold Ross and Woolcott Gibbs were among those who took or was given credit for that one. "...he is an underrated writer because every single person who knew him hated him. Everyone tells stories about what a jerk he was, what an idiot, what a social climber, how awful he was. He's one of my favorite writers...As soon as all the people who knew him die off, people will come to share my opinion." ...Fran Lebowitz Who? Link to post Share on other sites
thestick Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 John O'Hara? Link to post Share on other sites
flashback42 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The biography of Mr. O'Hara that I'm currently reading is entitled The Art of Burning Bridges by Geoffrey Wolff. The writer's lifestyle of taking -- and giving -- offense is a major theme of the work. Down in exactly one hour. Stick's thread. Link to post Share on other sites
