Princess of Tap Posted December 22, 2016 Very well-done, Princess of Tap. It is Katherine Dunham. I thought that one would have been more of a challenge! It's your turn now. CA-- BTW--I studied dance in Chicago and Katherine Dunham was a Chicago Dance Legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swithin Posted December 22, 2016 A great dancer, choreographer and dance instructor just to name a few-- one of America's original Dance artists-- Katherine Dunham I worked with Miss Dunham once, when she was in her 90s. Amazing woman -- really inspirational! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Classic aficionado Posted December 23, 2016 I have just discovered Irving Bacon. (By the way, so far the only film that I've seen of Katherine Dunham's is "Stormy weather." She has certainly done some fine work, as a dancer, an instructor, and a choreographer. I did catch a hint of her acting when I saw a short film that she starred in: "Carnival of rhythm". It was impressive. In her role in this short film, she reminded me of Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. There was so much remarkable dancing in it, and it was lovely production. It was shown on the Classic Arts Showcase on television. What I wouldn't give to be able to purchase a VHS or DVD of it.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CA-- You might catch an old Kennedy Honors award show because she received one awhile back. I always enjoy Irving Bacon in Holiday Inn-- I thought he and Walter Abel had to carry that one, when nobody was singing or dancing. Also I've seen Irving on I Love Lucy. CA-- You were pretty good with that one! It's your turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess of Tap Posted January 4, 2017 I really don't know very much about films made in the 1990s-- I'm only answering this because French is my adopted culture and I've seen everything just about that Gerald Depardieu has done. I don't claim to know anything about films that are not classic, unless of course they star Depardieu! LOL My guess here is: Malachy McCourt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Classic aficionado Posted January 4, 2017 Great job, Princess of Tap! That was pretty quick. It is Malachy McCourt. That's fascinating about your interest in French culture, and about how you're a fan of Gerard Depardieu. "Green Card" was the first film of his that I ever saw. Since then I've seen "1492", "Jean de Florette", "Le chevre", "The last metro", "My father the hero", and parts of the American television movie of "Les miserables" that he starred in. Right then, Princess of Tap! It's your turn now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pendulum (1969) Todd Killings, The (1971) Strange Possession of Mrs. Oliver, The (1977-Tvm) Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981-Tvm) Murphy's Law (1986) I didn't know we were doing made-for-TV movies.

Classic aficionado Posted January 21, 2017 That's true, Princess of Tap. I always stay away from choosing made-for-TV movies when I select five films for a challenge. I merely went with what the poster Mr. Gorman put forth and responded to it. However, since you were the last person to correctly give the answer to the previous five films, you can reclaim this one and select five films if you would like. Or would you like me to select five films? It's up to you. Either thing is o.k. with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Classic aficionado Posted January 22, 2017 Thank you very much, Princess of Tap. That's very nice of you to permit me to go ahead with this one. Right then. Here it goes.

Mr. Gorman Posted January 24, 2017 Good job, O Classic aficionado, for figuring out Robert F. Lyons. He played a sniveling little snot of a baddie in "Pendulum". I often include Tv movies all over the Msg. Boards when I post. (TCM actually showed a few TVM's in 2016 -- like "Green Eyes" with Paul Winfield which was a 1976 tele-film). I'll guess WALLACE SHAWN for your 5 films. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
