Edythevanhopper Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks laffite. This leading actor in one of TCM's movies today had 3 favorite films, 2 highly unusual films that were best picture nominees that lost. One in the 40's for 20th Cent Fox, one in the 50's for MGM. Can you name this star and his 2 favorite losers? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Henry Fonda, Grapes of Wrath and 12 Angry Men ??? Link to post Share on other sites
Edythevanhopper Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 12 Angry Men is right, not that Grapes of Wrath isn't but there's another that was more unusual for the time. Which one? Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks Edythe Thread Open This actor and actress knew each other well in NYC in the early'40s, then ended up co-starring in a film as the '50s began. Who? Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I'm guessing Kirk Douglas and Lauren Bacall and the movie would be Young Man With a Horn. Link to post Share on other sites

starliteyes Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Clinton Sundberg played a sales clerk who waited on Mickey Rooney in two movies. In the first one, he interests him in a sports jacket. In the second, he sells him a pair of elevated shoes. Name the 2 movies. Link to post Share on other sites
starliteyes Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Hint: The first movie was an Andy Hardy movie that was shown very recently. The second movie had a lot of big names in it. Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Erich Wolfgang Korngold had written the scores for a number of important movies for Warners, including The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939). Korngold was told he was to write a score for a new picture. According to Brendan Carroll in his biography of Korngold, the composer, thinking this was another royal story, set about writing the celebrated fanfare theme of the picture. Despite the wrong assumption, Korngold decided to keep and develop the theme into what has become a classic score. -name the 'new picture'? Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 sorry, no hint: the theme was used during a presidential inauguration Link to post Share on other sites
Edythevanhopper Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The way this is worded it sounds like your film was after '39 but I'm going to guess The Prince and The Pauper's The Roost Song? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 sorry, no hint: the theme was used during a presidential inauguration Well, it's a clever hint and it makes me think of KING'S ROW since it's a famous film of Ronald Reagan's so it was probably used at his Presidential Inauguration ??
