starliteyes Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thank you, Lawrence. Continuing along the same line of questioning, another story was filmed 3 times and the same part was played by, respectively, Edward Everett Horton, Ernest Truex and David Wayne. Name the films.

film lover 293 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Starlit-- Edward Everett Horton was Roy V. Bensinger in "The Front Page" (1931). Ernest Truex was Roy B. Bensinger in "His Girl Friday" (1940). David Wayne was Bensinger in "The Front Page" (1974). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starliteyes Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 That is exactly right, film lover, and you have the floor - or, as we say here, the thread. (Can't help wondering why Bensinger's middle initial was changed from V in the 1931 film to B in the 1940 one.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 This actor played multiple roles in at least two films, and made a memorable appearance as a laundress in another film. Name him, the three films, and as many of the roles as you can (there are more than ten). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like this : Who played the big man in a 1940s movie about three strangers and a statue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebs Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Sydney Greenstreet in The Maltese Falcon Next: first person to win best supporting actor in 1937 for Come and Get It (1936). He went on to win two more Oscars in the same category. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstreet is right in both cases but I was thinking of Three Strangers that also had a statue in it. Note I had the title in the question. But you are right! The answer to your question is Walter Brennan (I didn't even have to look it up, wow!) Next : What very famous (icon, even) actress (now deceased) played a teenager in a wonderful family comedy with WP in it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence1 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks, Laffite. This actress began her career as a singer on local television. when she turned to acting, she had very little opportunity to display her singing talent. But she did make a number of movies, including two Westerns with John Wayne and even got to sing a little in an Elvis Presley movie. Can you name her?

Terrence1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Laffite, I'm like you in that I don't like doing research. It sort of takes the fun out of the game for me. As you requested, the initials for the actress in question are JO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying OPEN THREAD for now, maybe someone will accidentally click on this thread and serve up a question. Fat chance.

Princess of Tap Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Easy questions that you don't have to look up or even scratch your head. Three actresses who co-starred with Clark Gable at least three times-- And don't forget to name three Gable movies for each actress. Big hint-- They all had MGM contracts.
