Peebs Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Whew! (I see that Burgess Meredith was in the movie as well, one of Goddard's husband. ) ****** Next: Which movie does Fred Astaire dance in a fun house setting? For an extra point, name comedic couple, married in real life, who were his dancing partners in this number? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Fred Astaire starred in "A Damsel in Distress" with George Burns and Gracie Allen as his dancing and comedy support in the fun house number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Next to musicals, I like a good mystery. This British actor starred in 2 different film series of mysteries at RKO. He played a Suave and debonair full-time Ladies Man and part-time amateur Detective in both film series. Halfway through the second mystery series, he quit and his real life brother replaced him in the film series. Please identify the two acting Brothers and the two mystery film series.

This occurred recently, coupled with a popular thread in "General Discussions" talking about them on this website. Hint: One of the brothers won an Oscar for a supporting role in an iconic Bette Davis movie about the Broadway theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Princess, I think the two brothers were Tom Conway and George Sanders, and the two detective series were The Falcon and The Saint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Terrence, I think you're right. And if you missed both film series on TCM this year, you can buy the DVDs which are very good. Terrence you're up at bat..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks, Princess. That was a good question. This one is for all those Jane Wyman fans: Poor Jane Wyman really knew how to suffer in the movies.

laffite Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'm looking for a director and a writer. Their last names are nearly identical. The importance of being earnest is paramount in deliberating on this question, although some of you like it hot and go whole hog. In either case, they are both great. You won't need any more clues. What are their names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebs Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks, Laffite. Next, a two-parter: 1. What was the last movie Grace Kelly made in Hollywood before marrying Prince Rainier? 2. What 1964 movie was Grace Kelly considering coming out of retirement to star in? She reportedly accepted the role but ultimately turned it down because of public disapproval in Monaco.

Terrence1 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I think her last movie was "The Swan". As for the other, I'm guessing that it was "Marnie". If not, I'm pretty sure that it was something for Alfred Hitchcock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Hitchcock had asked Kelly to star in Marnie. She reportedly had accepted but ultimately turned down the part. Good job, Terrence! Would you like to do the next question?

Terrence1 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Ida Lupino's favorite movie was not made at her home studio (Warner Bros.), but on loan-out to another She played someone older than she was in real life and had several other females in the cast.

Terrence1 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 That's the one, Princess. And her husband at the time, Louis Hayward, was also in it. It's yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
