Same to you,  lavender!  You're right - Johnny Guitar is a nutty movie, and I like it, too.

Next (This might be an easy one.):

The male star of this movie disliked the female star's husband so much that he had him banned from the studio.

 Young At Heart - Frank Sinatra hated Martin Melcher, he was Doris' Day's husband.

Frank and Ethel Barrymore  both won Oscars before this film, Dorothy Malone and Gig Young both won Oscars after this film. Frank for From Here To Eternity, Ethel for Pinky, Dorothy for Written On The Wind and Gig Young for They Shoot Horses Don't They?

Thanks Star

It's been written many times that the director and the co-star of this famous  film were having an affair. Nothing unusual about that except that she was a teen and he was 28 years older than she was. The film was nominated for 3 Oscars. film, director and the female co-star ????

[lavenderblue19]

One of the man's relatives is believed to be missing. and presumed dead. She was on a ship. She's a different woman than the one found in his study.

[lavenderblue19]

The dead woman is believed to have committed suicide but it was murder

[lavenderblue19]

The husband of the dead woman shows up at the man's house but he pretends to be someone else. The husband does not believe it's a suicide.

[lavenderblue19]

The husband of the dead woman pretends to have married the man's niece on the ship and she is reported missing.

[lavenderblue19]

The niece is not dead , the man who claims to be her husband takes her out and she says she has no memory of marrying him and doesn't remember ever knowing him

[lavenderblue19]

The niece moves back into her uncle's house. Her uncle is suspicious of the man who claims to be her husband.

The uncle stars in his famous radio program.

Yes it is, Miles!  

Now it's your turn.

[MilesArcher]

Thanks, Starlit.

Now, there was another movie with a desert setting.  This time, it's a gas station with a lunch counter and motel cabins.  The whole place is run by two sisters.  In the course of one day several strange characters stop by, including two recent divorcees with some very valuable jewels, as well as two crooks on the lam.  One of the crooks is a former boyfriend of one of the sisters.  He has a notion about robbing the divorcees of their jewelry.

Can you name this movie?

[starliteyes]

Heat Lightning?

[MilesArcher]

Yes, it's "Heat Lightning" from 1934.  It stars Aline MacMahon and Ann Dvorak as the sisters and Preston Foster as the former boyfriend of Aline MacMahon.   Lyle Talbot is the other crook and Glenda Farrell and Ruth Donnelly are the divorcees.  Nice work, Starlit.  The thread is now yours.
