jakeem Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Could the answer have anything to do with married couples in each cast? Here's a list: *"The Strange Woman" --* Gene and Kathleen Lockhart. *"Madame Curie" --* Albert and Elsa Bassermann. *"Dishonored Lady" --* Hedy Lamarr and John Loder. *"Mary of Scotland" --* Fredric March and Florence Eldridge.

jakeem Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Great! I went through several dead ends before I finally figured out the couples solution. Here's my set of movies that have something in common: *"How the West Was Won" (1962).* *"To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962).* *"A River Runs Through It" (1992).* *"Tombstone" (1993).* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Respectively: Spencer Tracy narrator Kim Stanley narrator Robert Redford narrator and Robert Mitchum narrator ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Bingo! You are correct! All four films feature narration or voice overs by big stars who don't appear onscreen: *"How the West Was Won" (1962) --* Spencer Tracy. *"To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) --* Kim Stanley. *"A River Runs Through It" (1992) --* Robert Redford. *"Tombstone" (1993) --* Robert Mitchum. Congratulations! Your turn. Edited by: jakeem on Nov 20, 2012 9:39 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 This one should be easy for most of you: a) Bwana Devil Knights of the Round Table c) White Christmas d) The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edythevanhopper Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hint: The movie years range from '52 through '62. Consider what they may have been technical pioneers of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeem Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 OK, try this one: 1. "City Lights" (1931). 2. "Poor Little Rich Girl" (1987 TV movie). 3. "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" (1957). 4. "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (1969). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 For those of you who are stumped, I've added a clue that might be helpful. 1. "City Lights" (1931). 2. "Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story" (1987 TV movie). 3. "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" (1957). 4. "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" (1969).

MilesArcher Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 They either featured, or were about, wives of Cary Grant. "City Lights" featured his first wife, Virginia Cherrill. "Poor Little Rich Girl" featured Farrah Fawcett as Barbara Hutton, his second wife. "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter" featured wife # 3, Betsy Drake, and "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice" featured Dyan Cannon, his fourth wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Congratulations! You are absolutely correct about the wives of Cary Grant angle. By the way, his fifth wife, Barbara Harris, was in public relations before she married him in 1981. Your turn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Thanks. Here are four Abbott and Costello movies: 1. Buck Privates 2. In The Navy 3. Hold That Ghost 4. It Ain't Hay Besides the obvious, what do they have in common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 There's probably more than just this, but the first thing I think of is: All four feature Shemp Howard in the supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I had a pretty strong feeling that you would get this one, MN, being that you are a big Stooges fan. Yes, Shemp was in these four films with Bud and Lou. It's your turn, Musicalnovelty, but before you post the next question,correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it about 1946 or 1947 that Curly suffered a stroke and had to leave the act, so Shemp was brought back to replace him?
