ReplyDeleteGreat job! The only thing you forgot, Gilby, was to name the actress for #1 (even though it's totally obvious). Are you trying for a clean sweep?
Recap: only remaining questions to be answered are #s 7, 8, and 10.
#1) Kate hepburn made the film with Bogart
ReplyDeletethank you, Gilby! LOL!
ReplyDeleteGilby, congratulations on your win! You were on top all the way. I do know something about question #10, just for fun. I know that the part of Roy Earle was turned down by George Raft, who didn't want to be made to look older, and possibly turned down by someone else, although I don't know who. Bad career choice for Raft!
ReplyDeleteBecks, you're absolutely right, Raft turned it down! Raoul Walsh said that Raft didn't want his character to die..."I don't die in my movies!".
ReplyDeleteIt was a dumb move on Raft's part, but good for Bogey!
Yes, Becks is correct on one more thing....Gilby won!
ReplyDeletePaul says that we made it too easy, LOL! Gilby must have really wanted this download!
