Abandoned thread

[flashback42]

The question seems to refer to Night of the Hunter (1955). Anybody know where jellygirl0270 went?

[Kid Dabb]

That was Shelley Winters in Night of the Hunter. Maybe jelly

got them cornfused - it happens.

 

Interesting - Two for the See Saw: Paul Newman was originally slated to star opposite Elizabeth Taylor in the film. I can't even imagine that one.

[Emgee66]

Until she returns what about this:

 

In what movie did the dialogue in one scene have to be overdubbed after the Kennedy assasination?

[flashback42]

WAG, no research: The Manchurian Candidate ??

[Emgee66]

I knew somebody would guess this, but no. That movie was released before the assasination. I know there's been a lot of Kennedy speculation connected to this movie, but it's not the one.

 

This movie was released late 1963; did very well

crime story

[metz44]

suddenly?

[Emgee66]

That was released in 1954........

 

I repeat: 1963 crime movie with comedy elements; wellknown stars.

[Edythevanhopper]

It's A Mad ,Mad, etc. World wasr scheduled for release in Nov '63. Is is that one??

[Emgee66]

Sorry, again no. crime is very central here, but with comic touches. So don't go the assasination or politics trail. that leads nowhere.

 

A+++ lead actor and actress with solid supporting cast.

[Kid Dabb]

That's *Charade (1963)*

 

Audrey Hepburn: "at any moment we could be assassinated," was dubbed over to become "at any moment we could be eliminated" due to the recent assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

[Emgee66]

You've cracked it; good work, now you're up.

[Kid Dabb]

Thank yaw - thank yaw, Emgee

 

*Next:*

 

Paul Newman, Peter O'Toole and Montgomery Clift were considered for the lead role in this sci-fi drama. In 1971 some scenes from this film were used in an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery television show.

[flashback42]

The Omega Man

Andromeda Strain

Escape from the Planet of the Apes

 

???

[Kid Dabb]

No

No

and No

 

Scenes used in a Night Gallery episode included the monorail and the flying policeman.

You're right on top of this with your guesses - so close.

[Emgee66]

Planet of the Apes?

[Kid Dabb]

Not that one. This one is more cerebral, if I may use that term. Characters are

forced to utilize their brain's capabilities.

[Emgee66]

Fahrenheit 451 ?

[Kid Dabb]

*That's* the one! Another thank you, Emgee.
