DownGoesFrazier Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The clues do not fit.. There's got to be a best picture oscar winner, and two actors both nominated for their performance in that picture. Get that one, and work your way back to the Broadway play. You could also try to figure out Best Actor Oscar winners, and work your way back to early starring roles in film.

DownGoesFrazier Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Giveaway hint: The two actors who appeared in the Broadway play were later both nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a movie which won the Best Picture Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Super-giveaway hint. There was another actor in this later film who ALSO received a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The later film was a Best Picture Oscar winner in the '50s......Come on people. This should be easy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 The actor who starred in the film version of the Broadway play, at the beginning of his film career, won his Best Actor Oscar in the '50s..........At this point, I'm running out of hints.

DownGoesFrazier Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Someone should have gotten this. Lee J. Cobb and Karl Malden were in the original production of "Golden Boy". It was soon made into a film starring William Holden. Thread is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 "South Pacific" had been a big hit on Broadway starting with it's debut on 1949. When the movie version was to be made, the original Broadway leads did not appear in the film. Mary Martin was considered to be too old, and Ezio Pinza had passed away. The roles were given to Mitzi Gaynor and Rosanno Brazzi. They were not the original choices, but because of contractual obligations to other studios, the original choices could not make time in their schedules for this film. Who were the original choices for the roles of Nellie and Emile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I read once that Elizabeth Taylor had been on the top of a list of actresses considered for the role along with Fernando Lamas as Emile. Is either/or correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I believe that Doris Day and Charles Boyer were offered the leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Finance is half right. The original choices wer Doris Day and Howard Keel, who had already worked together in "Calamity Jane". Howard Keel was said to have been very disappointed at not playing that role. Finance is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Another question about the Group Theatre production of "Golden Boy". Cobb and Malden were in the cast, and another actor was aspiring to be the lead. Luther Adler was chosen for the lead, and this actor, upset, went to Hollywood, and the rest is history. Who was he?
