It lost to Evergreen from A Star is Born. Also nominated that year was Gonna Fly Now from Rocky Well done, Terrence! Your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I agree. That was a strange choice for Best Song. It was not often that Barbara Stanwyck sang on the screen. One example was a duet that she performed with a popular singer/actor early in his career. who was he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagoo Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 While this actor had a relatively sparce film resume he earned a number of lead roles in some memorable movies. In addition, he was a Columbia Law School grad, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and has a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award. Can you name him?

Peebs Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Thanks, Magoo! Next: Here's a quick one. What word is conspicuously absent from the script of The Godfather? Hint, the producers met with the Italian American Civil Rights League before shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Columbo, son of crime boss Joseph Columbo, persuaded the producers to omit any mention of the mafia or La Cosa Nostra.

Terrence1 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Thanks, Peebs. When asked about this movie, Lana Turner claimed that it was so bad that it should have been opened in Disneyland. Name the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hint: While this movie was not a success, she never looked better. She wore a number of provocative costumes and died at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence1 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Nobody can take a wild guess like you, Peebs. That's correct. And it's true that she looked beautiful in this. It's all yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebs Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Thanks, Terrence! Your extra clues certainly helped. And I agree, Lana looked especially sexy perched up there. Next: This author was so disappointed with the 1934 adaptation version of her novel that she amended her will to prevent any of her other novels from being turned into movies. The novel was adapted earlier for a 1924 silent movie starring Irene Rich. Can you name the author and the 1934 movie? 3/30 Hint: Starred Barbara Stanwyck & Frank Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagoo Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It has to be Willa Cather and the film from her novel, A LOST LADY Cather wrote one of the all time great lines, "The heart of another is a dark forest, no matter how close it has been to one's own." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMagoo Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 This 1 time, Oscar winning actor made several films with children who turned out to be mostly reviled around Hollywood as being mean spirted and difficult to work with. One of his wives said that he had been invited to every upscale Beverly Hills home....once and upon his death they joked they had a hard time finding 8 pallbearers for his funeral. Who is he? For what film did he win his Oscar? Who was the wife (he had more than one) that made the Beverly Hills joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know Beery was married to Swanson. Seems like an odd match. But I was not surprised that he was difficult. Your board Peebs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebs Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Thanks, Magoo! I agree, Swanson and Beery do seem like an odd pair. Next: This actress was offered the title role of Lolita. Her parents were even offered a Renoir if they allowed her to take the part. The actress later said she wanted to do it. However, she was under contract to another studio who did not like the idea of their young star as the controversial nymphet. Can you name the actress?

As you might guess, Walt Disney was not eager to have his Pollyanna play Lolita. Your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
