DownGoesFrazier Posted April 1, 2012 I'll be back......To completely flesh out the previous question, Gene Nelson was in 3 films with Doris. Only one, LULLABY OF BROADWAY, was a starring role for him. The other two were supporting roles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted April 1, 2012 Name at least one supporting player who was in at least 4 films with Doris Day, and name the films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted April 1, 2012 SZ Sakall 1. *Tea for Two* 2. *Romance On The High Seas* 3. *Lullaby Of Broadway* 4. *My Dream Is Yours* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted April 2, 2012 That's the one I was thinking of. There could be others. Your thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted April 2, 2012 One of my favorite character actors. They don't get much cuter than SZ Sakall. Originally a scene in this famous film was shot differently than what we see on the screen. In this scene, the lead actor pushes the lead actress against a wall, rips off her clothes and rapes her. The scene was changed. She is pushed down and the rest is left to our imagination. What film, and the actor and actress??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted April 2, 2012 Sorry, another film. But that is definitely a very reasonsible guess. Much later film, a little more than 20 yrs. older than Temple Drake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted April 2, 2012 Lav, I know this from the autobios of Cagney and Day--It's "Love Me or Leave Me". Censors couldn't let it show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted April 2, 2012 cujas, absolutely correct. That's where the info came from. We'll be able to watch that scene again in *Love Me Or Leave Me* when TCM airs the film Fri nite @8pm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cujas Posted April 6, 2012 This actor started on TV, made movies while still starring on TV, went into the Big movies, then came back and became a TV star all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranklinPangborn Posted April 6, 2012 Howdy, ya'll After being seen in her movie debut by a Superstar, this actress was hired for a supporting role in a (long awaited) movie version of a popular Broadway musical starring said Superstar. She was fired after a few days because of "differences" with the Superstar. Story is Superstar hated her and had her axed. She went immediately into another movie that was a major hit. Fired actress got an Oscar nom for the movie she made instead of musical. Musical was a big smelly bomb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edythevanhopper Posted April 8, 2012 A stab in the dark...I'll guess Jodi Foster for her performance in Taxi Driver? Maybe she was axed from Funny Lady? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinPangborn Posted April 8, 2012 No, but Fired actress did make feature movie debut (the one that impressed Superstar) with Funny Girl/Lady star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edythevanhopper Posted April 9, 2012 Next stab at this...Amy Irving for her portrayal in Yentl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinPangborn Posted April 9, 2012 No. Babs S is not the Superstar...but she was the star of Fired's first feature movie. The movie Fired Actress made instead was a comedy directed by a (at the time) popular director who has since fallen out of favor. Director made some really good movies that often featured his (at the time) girlfirend. Fired was Oscar nominated while another cast mate won an Oscar for their work in the movie. Fired then soon made the first of four (maybe five?) movies with another popular director/writer/producer. Fired also received an Oscar nom for this movie...a comedy classic.

Edythevanhopper Posted April 10, 2012 To quote finance...duh. I am so glad to see the answer Muddy. I was afraid I'd wreck the car trying to come up with this answer. It was a great question and a great answer. Thanks. Your thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted April 15, 2012 This western was supposed to be the inspiration for the film "Blazing Saddles"...Title ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted April 15, 2012 Good guess, but not "High Noon"...This movie was the fifth of nine collaborations between the lead actor and actress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
