Thenryb Posted January 10, 2018 How about Showboat. Maybe something Joe E. Brown might say to Agnes Morehead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted January 10, 2018 Also a good guess, but not the movie. Don't give up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azure Posted January 10, 2018 Please give us another hint, Terrence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted January 10, 2018 Hint: This originally was a Broadway musical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted January 11, 2018 OK. Here are a couple more hints. The husband and wife in question were the top-billed stars. The actor played the same role on Broadway. This was his first movie. The actress was one of the most popular musical stars at the studio. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thenryb Posted January 11, 2018 Now this sounds like Howard Keel and Betty Hutton in Annie Get Your Gun, although he did make a movie in Britain before that (non singing). I do not remember his calling her that, but I hope she gave him the business end of her shotgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted January 11, 2018 Well, Thenryb, no one would accuse you of not trying. I can't remember--were Keel and Hutton married in this movie? Anyway, not the answer I'm looking for. Let's try another clue: This was not the only hit Broadway musical by this composer. The lead actress was nominated for an Oscar for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they did end up getting married. Anyway, I am done with this question. Since I do not actually remember, I have to rely on internet searches and your clues including the latest one lack adequate keywords to enable me to narrow it sufficiently. (Actress nominated for Oscar????; composer with more than one hit Broadway musical????) I think it will take someone who loves musicals so much that they even watch movies like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azure Posted January 11, 2018 Terrence, I just remembered that you once used the name "Chickie-Pan" as an answer on the "First Film That Comes to Mind" thread. It was from The Unsinkable Molly Brown. Debbie Reynolds' character was nicknamed "Chickie-Pan". (I haven't seen that film in a while, so I had forgotten about the nickname.) 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Live and learn. I would never have "remembered" it since I have never been able to watch that film all the way through. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azure Posted January 12, 2018 Thenryb, if you didn't know that Terrence had used this answer before, then the search function would have been useless. Just to clarify, I only said that I remembered that Terrence had used the answer before. I didn't remember which movie it was, so I did have to look it up. As I said earlier, I haven't seen this movie in a while, so I had forgotton about the nickname. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted January 12, 2018 Well, we finally have an answer. Sorry it took so many responses. It's such an unusual nickname that I thought it would stick in people's minds. I was wrong again. Azure, it's all yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
