But it's nothing to do with the actors, directors, writers, producers, or studios. It's something that happens in each film. One more movie that also has the same thing in common: I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE, BABY (1940) - Universal comedy feature. Also, I once saw a live production of the play "Private Lives" and this same thing happened in it. But I don't believe it happens in the 1931 MGM movie version. Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 There are phonograph records in each film, and the play. They might be broken in each one, but I don't know because I haven't seen all the movies. Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 That's what I was about to guess, before I saw that FCD already did. Link to post Share on other sites
musicalnovelty Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Yes, Fred and finance, that is it! There are scenes with records being broken in each of those films. Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 That was difficult. This was my first try with this type of puzzle. At first I thought it was just about people who were in the same movies, but things that happened in movies was more difficult to find. Luckily, I found the 3 Stooges movie on YouTube, and I studied it to see what might be in it: a large pipe wrench, a guy dressed like a lady, a piano, a record, a British taxi horn, and a few other things. Then I remembered the records in Blackboard Jungle. Then I looked up, on Wiki, the play you mentioned and I found the info about the broken record. And I remembered the broken record in one of the Laurel and Hardy movies. But I think that will be the last time I try this kind of puzzle. Link to post Share on other sites

allaboutlana Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Adding another to the mix and changing The Best Man to a different film. Look at the casts! *Mackenna's Gold* *The Second Time Around* *Three Hours to Kill* *The Wheeler Dealers* *The Joker is Wild* Edited by: allaboutlana on Oct 9, 2012 9:34 AM Link to post Share on other sites

vickisilverwolf Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 That's an interesting guess (and there might be something like that in "Jason and the Argonauts" if you use a very wide definition of "political.") But I'm thinking of something else. A certain well-known person contributed a particular talent to all these films (and to many others.) Link to post Share on other sites
