Terrence1 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 This is just a guess, Franklin, but is it that a member of the cast gets pushed to his or her death from a high place? Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinPangborn Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Pushed, falls or leaps but, yes, they go splat. Your turn. Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 How about a hint? Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Maybe this will help. There is one person who is associated with all four films. Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 You got it right, 6666. Mr. Newman composed the score for all four movies. Your turn. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It must be that Harry Guardino was in all of those films. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Thanks. These four films were all directed by John Ford, and several actors were in more than one of them, but they have something else in common. The four are: The Lost Patrol (1934) Submarine Patrol (1938) Fort Apache (1948) She Wore A Yellow Ribbon (1949) What else do they have in common? Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 We can add "Rio Grande" (1950) to the list. Hint: Think characters. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 One last hint: The character's name was also used in a movie with Tony Martin, although it was not directed by John Ford. Link to post Share on other sites
mudskipper Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Quincannon---a name John Ford loves very much. Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yes, Quincannon was played by J.M. Kerrigan in "The Lost Patrol" and J. Farrell McDonald in "Submarine Patrol". In "Fort Apache", the part of Sgt. Quincannon was played by Dick Foran. In Ford's next two cavalry movies, "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon", and "Rio Grande", the part was played by Victor McLaglen. Victor McLaglen had been in both "The Lost Patrol" and "Fort Apache", but in other roles. Oh yes, Tony Martin starred as "Quincannon, Frontier Scout" around 1956. Your thread, muddy.

musicalnovelty Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 > {quote:title=mr6666 wrote: > }{quote}-hint? It's hard to think of a hint for these. But I hope this will make sense and be helpful: These films gave each of their stars a chance to stretch their acting talents beyond what they were generally known for. But in each of these films we also got to see each of the stars as they were best known. Link to post Share on other sites

mudskipper Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 All the leads play a double role or are mistaken for and resembles someone else in the movie.. Link to post Share on other sites

That's almost it. I had something more specific in mind. But to get the thread moving, I'll reveal it and let you take over. I had in mind that all four of those films are comedies in which the star plays two roles: both a nice normal guy but also a tough gangster. 1. Lloyd Hamilton (Educational Pictures comedy short). 2. El Brendel (Fox feature). 3. Buster Keaton (French-produced feature). 4. Edward G. Robinson (Columbia feature). Link to post Share on other sites
