SueSueApplegate Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Sorry, Dan. And, no, I don't think you are "out of line." I think I am. I will repost the question. Hope you will forgive me?

SueSueApplegate Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 What movie by "One Take" Woody Van Dyke has a popular musical star in a non-singing, dancing role where she snips her own stockings? Message was edited by: SueSueApplegate Link to post Share on other sites
SueSueApplegate Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Dan, I've having trouble with access. Can you take over from here? I am having trouble posting. The answer to my question was The Major and The Minor. But I mixed up my Woodys with my Billys. Sorry about that, Cinemascope. Sorry about that, Dan.

Cinemascope Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 The Major and the Minor was directed by Billy Wilder, not W.S. Van Dyke. Link to post Share on other sites
Cinemascope Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 But I mixed up my Woodys with my Billys. Well thanks to you I've certainly brushed up on my W.S. Van Dyke. Link to post Share on other sites
SueSueApplegate Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 "One-Take" Woody was a wonder! Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Dan, I've having trouble with access. Can you take over from here? I am having trouble posting. In what movie is the leading man told by his best friend that his soon-to-be girlfriend is "at most, three feet tall!"? Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 "Marty?" No, it isn't "Marty" (1955). The film in question was earlier. Dan Link to post Share on other sites
Cinemascope Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Freaks? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Freaks? No, not Tod Browning's "Freaks" (1932). The film in question included in its cast an actor whose specialty was portraying a famous world leader. He played this person in at least ten (10!) films. Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites
CharlieT Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Raymond Massey? Link to post Share on other sites
daneldorado Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Raymond Massey? Um, no, Raymond Massey isn't involved. Massey portrayed Abraham Lincoln at least five (5) times, but he isn't in our picture. Let's not lose sight of the original question. In what movie is the leading man informed by his best friend that his soon-to-be girlfriend is, at most, three feet tall? Dan N. Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Elizabeth Hartman. She was 22 when nominated for an Academy Award for a leading role, in "A Patch of Blue" (1965). In her last role, she provided the voice for one of the characters in "The Secret of NIMH" (1982). Dan http://www.silentfilmguide.com Link to post Share on other sites

daneldorado Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Dang, you're good! =0) Thanks, Gilda. If Johnm agrees with you when he wakes up, then I have a new question for you. I'm thinking now of an Asian-born actress who appeared in over 50 films and has something in common with Lynn Redgrave and also something in common with silent screen star Anita Page. Who is she?

The other two movies in the question are: YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW (Julie Harris played Miss Thing), and THE BEGUILED (Clint Eastwood played John McBurney). Link to post Share on other sites
SueSueApplegate Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Is it Olivia de Havilland? I know she was born in Japan. Both she and Vanessa have sisters who have also won Oscars.. But I can't make the Anita Page connection. Link to post Share on other sites
GildaHayworth Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Only thing they have in common as far as I can see is that they're in their 90's! =0) Link to post Share on other sites
