ReplyDeletePaul2,
ReplyDeleteThis is only the 2nd time I've played this game.I have some questions:
1. Do you get only one chance to answer a question?
2. What is a "free pass"?
3. Are we allowed to check IMDb, etc?
Sazball , you can answer more than once. a "Free Pass is awarded by me for special performance on special questions, and I'll mention that they earn A Free Pass which means you pass the test for the week or month. week. Yes If you have too, you can check the web, think of this as a "Open Book" form of college exam and you'll do OK. But it's fun if you don't .
ReplyDelete1. Hal Ashby directed Harold and Maude; he had a cameo as a man with a beard
ReplyDelete3. Ashby was an Oscar-winning film editor before becoming a director
9. High Society - dir. by Charles Walters/MGM; The Searchers - dir. by John Ford/Warner Bros.; The Pride & the Passion - dir. by Stanley Kramer/UA; North by Northwest - dir. by Alfred Hitchcock/MGM
Eve , you rock. BTW Hal was the guy in the arcade playing with the electric trains. As for Vista Vision, as you know it was Hitch's favorite format before Panavision. Mitchell (Last weeks answer to # 3) built the first true Vista Vision cameras first used in 1956. Because of the format and The Mitchell's you got a close in and depth of field that only maybe Todd AO could match , and Mitchell built the Todd AO cameras too.
ReplyDeletePaul2, thanks for the clarification.
ReplyDeleteWho are we: Guinn "Big Boy" Williams & Alan Hale, Sr.
Sazball ,Close but no cigar. Try again
ReplyDeletePaul..this one is hard.. Thank goodness I have a free pass.:) Looks like #10 is left?
ReplyDelete10.) Gladys Cooper, David Niven, Gig Young, Charles Boyer,& ??? I don't remember the fifth
ReplyDeleteOK Gilby, I'll give you 4/5ths credit. You forgot Robert Coote. Dawn , WhoAre We is left along with #5 and Half of #7.
ReplyDelete#5. Irish
ReplyDeleteWho are we: Allen Jenkins & Guinn "Big Boy" Williams.
ReplyDeleteThe other George Tobias/Howard Hawks film was Sergeant York...
ReplyDeleteSazball,Irish, is right. Who are we are not Alan & "Big Boy"
ReplyDeleteEve, good work Sgt York was what I was looking for.
Okay, this is my final guess (a collective sigh of relief from other posters)
ReplyDeleteWho are we: Frank McHugh & Alan Hale,Sr.
Are we Ward Bond and John Ridgely?
ReplyDeleteSazball ,no wrong again. Eve you have one right, but Ward Bond is not one of "US".
ReplyDeleteI think George Tobias is one of Who are we, still contemplating the other
ReplyDeleteGilby, John Ridgely is one of the two...
ReplyDeleteIs Stanley Ridges the other of the two?
ReplyDeleteEve, and Gilby ,You both have it. George and John, Good Work. BTW to all of you who played this week ,this is the First Time In Trvia Time History. ALL Of the questions were answered I'm impressed Looks like I'll have to make them a little harder next week. What do you think?
ReplyDeletePaul, I think it's the perfect level of difficulty "as is". It took several big brains (not my li'l one) 28 comments to crack your questions!
ReplyDeleteAh Shucks Rick. OK I'll keep it at the "same level" and it was fun to have some really good new players in Sazball, and Lady Eve along with "the regulars ".
