Bartlett Posted February 7, 2007 Was it O'Toole in "Club Paradise"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 7, 2007 Was it O'Toole in "Club Paradise"? No, it wasn't. And remember, I said Peter O'Toole is IN the movie in question. I didn't say he is the speaker of the quote. Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill_McCrary Posted February 7, 2007 Could it have been "Boris" in "The Big Picture" (aka "The Creator")? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 7, 2007 Could it have been "Boris" in "The Big Picture" (aka "The Creator")? You know, I've never seen "Creator" (1985), but your post prompted me to check it out on the IMDb... and from reading the mostly rosy commentaries on it, I'm now inclined to hunt down this movie and see it for myself. Must be a great Peter O'Toole performance, for I see that the only negative comment on "Creator" still found reason to praise O'Toole's portrayal of Dr. Harry Wolper. It must be a truly wonderful movie, but... alas! It's not the one that contains the quote I've been posting here.

I'll say Stephen Campbell Moore - "Bright Young Things" (2004) Bartlett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 8, 2007 No, not "Bright Young Things." I'll give you another clue: The "she" referred to in the quote is played by an actress making her screen debut. Add this to the other clues I've given you, and you've got the answer. Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted February 9, 2007 No, not "Supergirl" (1984)... but you are getting closer. Dan N. http://www.silentfilmguide.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bartlett Posted February 9, 2007 OK one last try...Peter O'Toole/ Jodie Whittaker / Leslie Phillips / Vanessa Redgrave in "Venus"? Bartlett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 10, 2007 OK one last try...Peter O'Toole/ Jodie Whittaker / Leslie Phillips / Vanessa Redgrave in "Venus"? Bartlett Absolutely correct! And if you have seen "Venus" (2006), you too must have marvelled at the brilliance of Peter O'Toole's performance. He should win the Oscar in this, his eighth try... but alas, I'm afraid the statuette has already been engraved with the name Forrest Whitaker on it. Great performance, anyway. And Vanessa Redgrave was equally good. Your time at bat now, Bartlett! Dan N. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdb1 Posted February 10, 2007 Now Dan, how can I say this nicely? Why are we spending our time researching classic movies if you are posting questions about movies still in first run? If one hasn't actually seen the current film in question, how is one to determine an answer? Where does one not in the Writers' Guild easily find entire movie scripts posted online? OK, OK, I'll stop griping. Maybe I can come up with a new thread to amuse myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bartlett Posted February 10, 2007 OK jdb1 this question does not concern a first run movie. What actress was made an honorary "Green Beret" and laid to rest at Fort Bragg, the "Green Beret" base? Bartlett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted February 10, 2007 Give me the name of the Broadway musical star who was a great success on stage, then went to Hollywood and made three flop musicals in a row. This person only made five (5) movies overall, but then returned to Broadway and became, once again, the toast of the town.

daneldorado Posted February 10, 2007 Carol Channing? Nope, not Carol. I think she was in eleven (11) films altogether, far more than the person we are seeking. Remember: This person was the toast of Broadway in two different eras, sandwiched around a disastrous movie "career." Who could it be?

daneldorado Posted February 11, 2007 Ethel Barrymore? Nope, Miss Ethel Barrymore was in 37 movies, far more than the five films that our mystery guest made. Dan N. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbell Posted February 13, 2007 hello dan i thought carol channing was correct! i've come up with marilyn miller but i don't think she was a star in two different eras. norbell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted February 13, 2007 hello dan i thought carol channing was correct! i've come up with marilyn miller but i don't think she was a star in two different eras. norbell Hi norby... I thank you for writing, and I know from painful, first-hand experience the agony that goes with thinking you've come up with the right answer, only to learn that it's wrong. It's happened to me, many times. Remember: The star in question was a MAJOR success on Broadway. Then this person went to Hollywood and appeared in three "flops" in a row. After only five (5) films, the person returned to Broadway and became a MAJOR success... AGAIN! I'm really curious to know why none of you have asked, is this person male or female?
