Peebs Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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 post Share on other sites
Princess of Tap Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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 post Share on other sites

Princess of Tap Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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.

Princess of Tap Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 9 minutes ago, laffite said: 9 8 % ????? These two mystery film series are very popular and shown on TCM every year. 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 post Share on other sites
Terrence1 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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 post Share on other sites
Princess of Tap Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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 post Share on other sites

Terrence1 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 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. Name her physical disability in: Magnificent Obsession The Glass Menagerie Johnny Belinda 1 Link to post Share on other sites

laffite Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 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 post Share on other sites
laffite Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Doesn't anyone want to answer? The answer is in the question. 👌 Link to post Share on other sites

Peebs Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 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 Share Posted September 26 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 post Share on other sites

If not, I'm pretty sure that it was something for Alfred Hitchcock. The Swan and High Society were both made in 1956. High Society was her last one, released a few months after The Swan. 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?
