redhook1947 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Correct. Yours. Along the same lines as your last question: What two pairs of films were Best Picture nominees that shared the same title without being an original and its remake? Looking for two titles that represent four movies. Link to post Share on other sites

redhook1947 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If this question were truly for the other 98% of us, it should have been answered by now. Guess you're right. I'll give the answer and open the thread up for other questions: What two pairs of films were Best Picture nominees that shared the same title without being an original and its remake? Looking for two titles that represent four movies. Heaven Can Wait (1943 and 1978) Moulin Rouge (1952 and 2001) 1978's Heaven Can Wait is actually a remake of another Best Picture Nominee, 1941's Here Comes Mr. Jordan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Why don't you give it another go, redhook - something easier, but harder than "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?" Link to post Share on other sites
redhook1947 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Why don't you give it another go, redhook - something easier, but harder than "Who's buried in Grant's tomb?" OK. How about this one. In The Glenn Miller Story, what happened that finally resulted in the "sound" that Glenn Miller was searching for? Link to post Share on other sites

redhook1947 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The trumpet player cut his lip, so Glenn had to do new arrangements? Love this film Yes, switching from trumpet lead to clarinet, with the harmony provided by the saxophones did the trick. Over to you, lavenderblue. Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks and Welcome to trivia Redhook next one: Not a difficult question for ardent viwers of TCM, esp RO interviews with the stars Name the actor who said he never watched any of his own films when asked what his favorite was.

Edythevanhopper Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Was it Robert Mitchum? Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yes Robert Mitchum, Edythe RO said his was the hardest interview he'd done. Mitchum was friendly and chatty during breaks, but clammed up during the interview and RO said he thought Mitchum was just being mean! Mitchum said he never watched any of his films, didn't have a favorite of his films. Did what he had to do, got his check and that's all. Guess you must have heard RO talk about this too Good work, your thread Link to post Share on other sites
Edythevanhopper Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I did see it...it was an uncomfortable segment. On the same token, this actor told RO in an interview his favorite actor was James Cagney. Should be easy. Link to post Share on other sites

lavenderblue19 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thank You starlit. Yes Sydney Pollack, Tootsie and Dustin HoffmanFunny story he told. Dabney Coleman was suppose to play the part of Dustin's manager. Dustin wanted Sydney to play the part, Sydney didn't want to, so Dustin sent Sydney flowers everyday for a week, on the card he signed it Love, Dorothy. It's a wonderful interview, it's been shown lots of times on TCM and all film lovers should watch it. It was a Great loss when Sydney Pollack passed away. He was truly a talented and wonderful director and a very good actor. Good work starlit, your thread. Link to post Share on other sites
