MilesArcher Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 There were three movies all directed by the same man. They all had similar settings, but different stories. Some actors were in all three movies, some were in two of them. One actor played the same role in the second and third films, but a different character in the first film. One actor played the same character in the first and third films, but a different character in the second movie. Another actor was in only the second and third movies, but he played the same character in both films. Can you name the three movies? Can you name any of the actors that I referred to?

starliteyes Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 One actor played the same character in the first and third films, but a different character in the third movie. Miles, this statement contradicts itself. Can you please clarify what you meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a correction concerning the actor who played the same character in the first and third movies. I hope that clears things up a bit. Here's a hint: The movies were released in three consecutive years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Here's another hint: Shirley Temple was in one of the films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starliteyes Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The 3 movies are Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949) and Rio Grande (1950). In the second and third films, Victor McLaglen played Top Sergeant Quincannon, but in the first one he played Sergeant Festus Mulcahy. John Wayne played Captain Kirby York in the first and third movie, but in the second one he played Captain Nathan Cutting Brittles. In the second and third films, Ben Johnson played Travis Tyree, billed as Sergeant Tyree in the first one and Trooper Travis Tyree in the second.

MilesArcher Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Great work, Starlit. Dick Foran played Sgt. Quincannon in "Fort Apache". Apparently, director John Ford liked that name. Guy Kibbee was in Fort Apache with Shirley Temple. They had earlier worked together in "Captain January" and "Miss Annie Rooney" Other actors who appeared in more than one of the three films include Jack Pennick (3), John Agar, Harry Carey Jr., George O'Brien, and Ford's brother, Francis (2 each). Thank you for the research work, Starlit. You're up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Thanks, Terrence. Next: Early in his career, this film/stage performer decided to get a new stage name. At first, he couldn't decide which last name to use. One day, he passed by his sister's room and saw a poster of a popular film actor on her bedroom wall. He decided to use part of that actor's name for his new stage name. Please name the film/stage performer and the famous actor that was on the poster.

Azure Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hint -- The film/stage performer played the title role in a 1950s musical film which was later turned into a TV show. (The TV show had a different actor playing the title character.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thenryb Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 This actor was born in Jamaica. His family moved to the US when he was young and lived in Boston. He began his acting career in the 1930's. Because of his racially-mixed appearance he played mostly ethnic roles in dramas and westerns, including supporting roles in various TV series. He starred in a couple of early Stanley Kubrick films. Name the actor and one of the Kubrick films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
