starliteyes Posted February 24, 2018 Although the male star of a Broadway hit recreated his role in the screen adaptation, the female star of the movie was not happy about it because she desperately wanted to play opposite another actor. That actor, however, was in failing health and was having trouble remembering his lines. Name the movie and the 3 stars in question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lavenderblue19 Posted February 26, 2018 I think it's The Man Who Came To Dinner. Bette Davis wanted John Barrymore to play the Monty Woolley role Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted February 26, 2018 That is correct. Although I really like John Barrymore and am sure he could have done the role if he had been in better health, I'm glad that Monty Woolley got to recreate his Broadway performance. You're up next, lav! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted February 27, 2018 Thanks Star This wonderful actor starred in films in the 1940's and 1950's. Surprisingly, he was a trained opera singer although he was not used in films as a singer. He was dubbed in one musical. He was in some very famous films and appeared in different genres. Actor, the musical he appeared in and a few of his famous films ????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted March 1, 2018 Dana Andrews trained as an opera singer, but was dubbed in State Fair because the studio was unaware that he could sing. Some of his famous films are The Ox-Bow Incident, Laura and The Best Years of Our Lives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was such a talented an actor in all genres and he was classically trained as an Opera singer. when asked why he didn't make a fuss and let the studio know that he could sing in State Fair, he said that the guy who was used to dubb him probably needed the money more than he (Dana) did. He was a generous gentleman besides a handsome, talented actor. Good work Star, your thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I first thought of Marlene Dietruch but because I misread your questiuon thinking that you wrote she had 2 HUSBANDS so I ruled her out. Now I reread your question so I still think it might be Marlene Dietrich? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marlene Dietrich is the actress. I'm going to guess Yul Brynner and Jean Gabin. The film and Broadway show was obviously The King and I for Yul and Jean Gabin's film would be Au Dela Des Grilles. ??????????????????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, Marlene may have been the queen of serious romance in Hollywood. Her taste was remarkably diverse and versatile.

lavenderblue19 Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks Princess. The star of this 1950's film has said that during the filming there were some problems with a few of the neighborhood people.
