LawrenceA Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thank you, Terrence. Why was Arsenic And Old Lace released 3 years after it was filmed? To allow the Broadway show to finish its run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 This film's original title was the psychiatric term for an inability to feel pleasure from previously enjoyed activities. It was also a play on a lead character's name. What was the film, and the original title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceA Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 "Annie Hall" and "Anhedonia"?? That's right, DJ! Your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBeacon Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 This inspiring film is based on actual events and people. One character is the father of the man Einstein stated was "the greatest mind in American history" and responsible for formalizing thermodynamics and physical chemistry. Name the film and the aforementioned character. Bonus points for naming his brilliant son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Is the film Amistad? One of the characters in the film was an abolitionist named Josiah Willard Gibbs, Sr. His scientist son was known as J. Willard Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBeacon Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 EXCELLENT answer, Azure. It was Josiah Willard Gibbs, a professor at Yale, who was portrayed in the film "Amistad". And his famous son, J Willard, who did so much in the field of physical chemistry and thermodynamics. I just enjoyed the film for the first time yesterday. Your thread.

Azure Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks, DJ. It's too bad that both men aren't better remembered today. Open thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBeacon Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Unfortunately Paul Newman seems to have made only one movie about Atomic bombs. Name the movie and where each of those two titled bombs were dropped. For bonus points, who were the two pilots and the names of the planes for those two bombs?

DJBeacon Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Arsan, That's the movie and the correct targets FYI, Paul Tibbets was the pilot of the "Enola Gay" that dropped the "Little Boy" Uranium bomb on Hiroshima and then 3 days later Charles Sweeney was the pilot of "Bockscar" that dropped the "Fat Man" Plutonium bomb on Nagasaki.

Arsan404 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks, Dj, and thanks for the information. History has never been my strong suit.

LawrenceA Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 SLEUTH? DGF is correct. Sleuth only had two cast members, Michael Caine & Laurence Olivier, and both were nominated. The other film was 1975's Give 'Em Hell, Harry!, where the sole cast member was James Whitmore. Your turn, DGF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other film was 1975's Give 'Em Hell, Harry!, where the sole cast member was James Whitmore. Your turn, DGF. Name at least 3 classic films that had a question mark at the end of the title.
